R help - Jul 2011 - help with nprmpi

Dear

I have been trying to a program which requires "nprmpi". However, I
have
tried to install the downloaded zip file but get the error: "cannot open
compressed file ''npRmpi_0.40-7.tar.gz/DESCRIPTION''"

 

I tried the command: install.packages("nprmpi") but get the message
"package
''nprmpi'' is not available"

 

I then tried version 2.13 of R (as I am still using version 2.12) but still
get error message.

 

I was wondering if somebody has managed to install it and can kindly assist,
please.

Many thanks and sorry for taking your time.

Best wishes,

os

Since you didn't tell us any basic information, we have to guess what your
OS
and other details are.  My guess that you're trying to use a file which 
Windows
can't deal with.

That would be consistent with using Windows.  On the CRAN site, the 
information
relating to the mprmpi package has this to say:
Windows binary: 	not available, see ReadMe.
