[R] can't install plotrix

[Alison Waller]

Hi all,

I'm having problems installing plotrix.  I tried installing it through install.packages, and from the unix command line, but each time it seems to stall when it is installing the help indices.

has anyone had this same problem, is this package still maintained ?

any help?

thanks
