Dear all, I've recently changed my Mac and I am trying to reinstall my commonly used R-packages. I'm having troubles with a package called LaplacesDemon. This package is no more in the CRAN list and the developers web page (http://www.bayesian-inference.com/software) is out for more than half a year. Old versions of the package can still be found in tar.gz in https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/LaplacesDemon/ and in github https://github.com/ecbrown/LaplacesDemon Last version is LaplacesDemon_13.03.04.tar.gz, but I was able to get version LaplacesDemon_15.03.19.tar.gz time ago (can't find it anymore). I have tried to install this packages from source in my computer using> install.packages("/Users/.../LaplacesDemon_15.03.19.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type="source")answer:> Warning: invalid package 'Users/.../LaplacesDemon_15.03.19.tar.gz? >Error: ERROR: no packages specified >Warning message: >In install.packages("Users/.../LaplacesDemon_15.03.19.tar.gz", :installation of package ?Users/.../LaplacesDemon_15.03.19.tar.gz? had non-zero exit status I also tried the 'Packages & Data' menu in R, selecting the source file or the directory from Finder and I got this message:> * installing *source* package ?LaplacesDemon? ... > ** R > ** data > ** inst > ** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading > ** help > *** installing help indices > ** building package indices > ** installing vignettes > ** testing if installed package can be loaded > * DONE (LaplacesDemon)but> library(LaplacesDemon)Error in library(LaplacesDemon) : there is no package called ?LaplacesDemon? Finally I tried> install.packages("devtools") > library(devtools) > install_github("ecbrown/LaplacesDemon")but I am not able to install devtools (for similar reasons). So my questions are: -Do anyone knows how to install this packages in my Mac? -Do anyone knows were can I find the information previously content in http://www.bayesian-inference.com/software? Thank you, Llu?s Hurtado PhD student OAUV
(1) You might get better mileage asking this on the r-sig-mac list.
(2) The phenomena you describe are puzzling and are beyond my capacity
to explain. Perhaps someone else will be able to enlighten you.
(3) Out of idle curiosity I went to the github site and downloaded the
zip file of the package. (I could not see a *.tag.gz file, but perhaps
I just don't understand how github works. Actually, there's no
"perhaps" about it!)
I unzipped the download and then did
R CMD build LaplacesDemon-master
in the appropriate directory. This created a file
LaplacesDemon_15.03.19.tar.gz
Note that the version number seems to be as you require.
I then used your install.packages syntax, and the package installed
seamlessly. It also loaded seamlessly.
So I don't know why the computer gods are picking on you.
Note that I am not working on a Mac, but rather running Linux (as do all
civilized human beings! :-) )
cheers,
Rolf Turner
