Hi

I would like to try out JGR but can't install and run it. I run vista
and that shouldn't be a problem since JGR supports vista since 1.5.1.

When running the installer with the --debug flag in an admin shell it
download the packages and the following error message comes up.

"One or more packages could not be installed or is still  to old.
Please install the following R packages manually "JGR, "rJava",
"JavaGD", "iplots". If in doubt, try another mirror.

Corresponding R output:
Warning in install.packages(c("JGR", "rJava", "JavaGD", "iplots"), ,
c("http://cran.r-project.org/")):
argument 'lib' is missing: using 'C:\Users\thomas\Documents\R\win-library\2.5'"

Then follows information about every package download that shows all
packages has been successfully downloaded.

Installing the packages manually and then running the launcher yields
the same output as above. The debug file in c:\ has been written but
is completely empty.

Would be interested in all speculations about this problem or anyone
else experiencing something similar.
