Installation error #61

Closed dg83 closed 10 years ago

Hi ramnathv,

I am trying to install rMaps on my work laptop (Windows 7) but I am getting this error:

Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) : couldn't connect to host

Do you have any idea what type of error is this?

Also I did manage to install rMaps on my personal latop (Windows 8.1) but I couldnt get the crosslet function working. Datamaps and leaflet work fine.

I am only interested in using the crosslet function so I really need to get that working either on my work or personal laptop.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks

I am not sure what is causing the installation issue on Windows 7. From the message you provided, it seems like your machine was unable to download the package from github, probably due to being behind a firewall. Can you check if you are able to install any package from github on your work laptop? That will help us zero in on the cause of the issue.

rMaps is currently undergoing a round of refactoring to make bindings more robust. The crosslet function is one of the functions I am updating. I should be pushing out a new version of rMaps in a week, which should make it easier to work with.

Thanks ramnathv. Will try again in a weeks time to see if it works for me.
