can't install ks package in R

I tried to install package ks, using code

install.packages("ks-package")
library("MASS")
library("ks")

but got next error:

Warning message:
package ‘ks-package’ is not available (for R version 2.15.2).

After that I tried to use latest R version for this code, but again got error message:

Warning message:
package ‘ks-package’ is not available (for R version 3.0.2) 

Please, help me to understand, why there is this error and how can I resolve it...

With the most recent version of R, this should have succeeded:

install.packages("ks", dependencies=TRUE)
library("ks")

If you were using version 2.15.x, then yyou should have the tools for installing from source and then this should have worked:

install.packages("ks", dependencies=TRUE, type="source")
library("ks")

There are some mirrors that maintain copies of binary versions of packages for some OS, but you did not provide the needed information for specific comment on that issue.
