It also shows its webpage to be at http://www.omegahat.org/RSXML. On the
root of the site -- http://www.omegahat.org -- the installation command is
given as install.packages(packageName, repos = "http://www.omegahat.org/R").
So perhaps, you should try install.packages("XML", repos = "
http://www.omegahat.org/R") or install.packages("RSXML", repos = "
http://www.omegahat.org/R") as one of those two should get you what you
want. Hope that helped... -- H
