Generally resolving installation problems requires more detail. The
glaringly obvious question after seeing that error message would be,
do you have `mvtnorm` installed? But even if you do have it installed
there would be many other questions that remain unanswered.

In this case the code would mean .... how, _exactly_ are you "trying
to install" the package. On R-help brevity is not the "soul of
