Hi,
I am having real problems downloading the package 'QRMlib'. The tar.gz
file
is shown here:
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/QRMlib/
I have downloaded this to my local folder and entered the following command:
nstall.packages("myLocalFolder/QRMlib_1.4.5.1.tar.gz", repos = NULL)
but I am getting the following error message
Installing package(s) into ?C:/Program Files/R/R-2.14.1/library?
(as ?lib? is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
error 1 in extracting from zip file
Warning in install.packages :
cannot open compressed file 'QRMlib_1.4.5.1.tar.gz/DESCRIPTION',
probable
reason 'No such file or directory'
Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection
What am I doing wrong??
Thanks

Do you perhaps need to add install.packages(..., type="src")? Just a (untested) guess...
