[pymvpa] Lars not available for download?

[Nynke van der Laan]

Dear Yarovlav,
thanks for your response. I guess the easiest is indeed upgrade to a
newer version. However, I am always somewhat hesisant to shift to
different versions of a program within one study (I am comparing
different classifiers/settings so if suddenly something changes that I
don't notice it would not be correct, and calculations take a lot of
time so I would not prefer to repeat them with a new version).
But I found out that more classifiers are not available with the
version that I use now. For example also the Gaussian Naive Bayes is
not available when importing the full mvpa.suite. I get the message
that global name 'GNB' is not defined. Did I miss somewhere that I
should import those classifiers by myself into the mvpa suite? (I use
Neurodebian which I run in virtual box (inside windows))
Please let me know, otherways I will migrate to a newer version.
Best,
Nynke
BTW: when I type library(glmnet) in R I get this message:
Loading required package: Matrix
Loading required package: lattice

Attaching package: 'Matrix'
