Problem

When you try to install an R package on Linux you get the following error message:

"Warning: unable to access index for repository - http://www.revolutionanalytics.com./repositories/cran/2.15/stable/s..."

Solution

A workaround for this issue is to edit the file: /usr/lib64/Revo-6.2/R-2.15.3/lib64/R/etc/Rprofile.siteand change the line: r <- c(REVO=Revobase::getRevoRepos())in this block of code:if (.Platform$OS.type == "windows"){ r["CRAN"] <- Revobase::getRevoRepos(CRANmirror=TRUE) } else { r <- c(REVO=Revobase::getRevoRepos()) }to:r <- c(REVO="http://packages.revolutionanalytics.com/cran/2.15/stable")You will then need to restart Revolution R Enterprise for the changes to take effect.
