Hello:
I have successfully installed both R and R64  for Apple OS X from
CRAN  plus GTK+2.14 and GGobi 2.1.8 from:
http://www.ggobi.org/downloads

I launch either R or R64 and try to install the rrgobi package and get
(with R64) the following:

R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14)

> install.packages("rggobi")
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
  package ‘rggobi’ is not available

I get substantially the same thing with R.

Here is some info about my OS:
  System Version:	Mac OS X 10.6.2 (10C540)
  Kernel Version:	Darwin 10.2.0
  Boot Mode:	Normal
  Secure Virtual Memory:	Not Enabled
  64-bit Kernel and Extensions:	No

What am I doing wrong?  Any help would be MOST appreciated.
Thanks
Betsy
