Rserve install instruction deprecated #258

Closed tomlagatta closed 10 years ago

tomlagatta commented 10 years ago

On the getting started page, the R instruction indicates install.packages('Rserve',,'http://www.rforge.net/'). Unfortunately, this yields:

> install.packages('Rserve',,'http://www.rforge.net/')
Warning: unable to access index for repository http://www.rforge.net/bin/macosx/mavericks/contrib/3.1

package ‘Rserve’ is available as a source package but not as a binary

Warning message:
package ‘Rserve’ is not available (for R version 3.1.0)

This is misleading, since Rserve is available for this version. Instead, running install.packages('Rserve') twice works.

Note: I also had to download XQuartz to get R to work.

jchendy commented 10 years ago

I updated the command. Don't have time right now to add the context info. I'll be sure to get to it this afternoon.

jchendy commented 10 years ago

Thanks again. Just added XQuartz. I totally dropped the ball when Scott reported these issues after y'all met.
