R help - Jul 2007 - Installation of a Package

Hi All,
 I want to upload J K Lindsey's "repeated" in a LINUX OS..

 I had tried the command..

  [root@localhost Desktop] # R CMD INSTALL repeated.gz

                               " WARNING: invalid package
'repeated' "
                                *Installing to library
'/usr/local/lib/R/library'
                                ERROR: No packages specified.
Can you tell me the problem? How can I rectify that?
With Regards,
Regina M.Verghis

Do you really have repeated.gz?  Lindsey usually packs his packages with 
the .tgz extension, e.g. at

http://popgen.unimaas.nl/~jlindsey/rcode.html

You need to get repeated.tgz and rmutil.tgz and use

tar zxf rmutil.tgz
tar zxf repeated.tgz
R CMD INSTALL rmutil repeated

Optional (but highly desirable): fix the many warnings you will see, and 
also those from

R CMD check rmutil repeated
