But there could be a number of different problems ... The error message is defined in dounzip.c and in your caase used in R by zip.unpack() which is used by install.packages() which itself is used by update.packages(). I'd suggest: - Download the package again - try do.unzip(packagename, librarypath) again Now it would be useful to know some details on your OS (and version of R, of course), because one could know whether your system supports unzip. In that case you could set it in options(), if the R internal unzip doesn't work.
