R help - Jul 2014 - How to install Vennerable

Hi,

I'm new to using R and would like to use Vennerable to process my data and
make Venn diagrams. However I cannot seem to install the package. If I enter
the command 
install.packages("Vennerable",
repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
I get the following message:
package ?Vennerable? is available as a source package but not as a binary
Warning Message:
package ?Vennerable? is not available (for R version 3.1.0)

How could I install the package? I managed to download a .zip file from the
R-Forge location, but do not know how to continue.

Many thanks in advance,


Guillaume

"Important note for package binaries: R-Forge provides these binaries only
for the *most recent version of R*, but not for older versions. In order to
successfully install the packages provided on R-Forge, you have to switch
to the most recent version of R or, alternatively, install from the package
sources (.tar.gz)."

You would need to tell us your OS setup. Try reading the Details section of
?install.packages. You will need to set repos to NULL and use the proper type
for a binary install ... if you are using R 3.1.x

Better to post directly to the list.
