[R] rimage package problems

[Ralf B]

Hi all,

I tried to install the rimage in order to get to the function
?read.jpeg. However, I get this error, independent what mirror I
choose:

install.packages("rimage")
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
  package ‘rimage’ is not available
>

Does anybody know what happend with the package? Is there an
alternative, I simply want to draw a background picture for a plot
using the standard graphics package.

Thanks,
Ralf
