I downloaded the latest R version of R-2.15.0 and install it on Linux. Everything works just fine. But it just fails for installing RTextTools, the error message is

install.packages("RTextTools") Installing package(s) into ‘/home/user/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/2.14’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

Warning: dependency ‘Rstem’ is not available trying URL 'http://cran.wustl.edu/src/contrib/RTextTools_1.3.6.tar.gz' Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 399988 bytes (390 Kb)

opened URL

ERROR: dependency ‘Rstem’ is not available for package ‘RTextTools’ * removing ‘/home/user/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/2.14/RTextTools’

The downloaded packages are in ‘/tmp/Rtmp0i44JP/downloaded_packages’

Warning message: In install.packages("RTextTools") : installation of package ‘RTextTools’ had non-zero exit status

How to solve this issue? Thanks

I googled and Rstem is on omegahat so I installed with install.packages("Rstem", repos = "http://www.omegahat.org/R") . Then I tried to install RTextTools and it made a new error message asking me to reinstall bitops. So I did that and tried again to reinstall RTextTools and it complained about caTools so I reinstalled that... finally RTextTools installed successfully. whew. - Seth
Are you absolutely certain you're using 2.15? - Roman Luštrik

Rstem was removed from the CRAN repository several months back, which is why you're getting this error. However, RTextTools was updated to include the stemmers in the source code, and this shouldn't be an installation issue anymore.
