R help - May 2013 - Clean Price of Bond : Can't install "RQuantLib" in R version 3.0.0

Dear Forum,

I have R version 3.0.0 installed and need to install RQuantLib pacakge. I tried
to install it from CRAN Mirror and I couldn't load it. I had saved the
package i zip format and tried to install it locally but I am getting following
error.

> utils:::menuInstallLocal()
Error in read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"),
c("Package", "Type")) :
  cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package",
"Type")) :
  cannot open compressed file 'RQuantLib_0.3.10(1)/DESCRIPTION',
probable reason 'No such file or directory'

I need to install this package as I need to find out how the clean price of bond
is arrived at?

Kindly
 guide

Regards

Katherine

What is the name of the file you downloaded?   I am guessing it did not 
arrive with the name on the archive.

You seem to be using Windows without saying so.  The file for Windows is 
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/r-release/RQuantLib_0.3.10.zip

without (1) in the name.
