Hm, I am not an expert in this field but trying to use obviously old package
which was removed about 5 years ago from CRAN is asking for problems. There is
probably some incompatibility between recent R version and obsolete package.
You either
1. need to install/compile R version from 2012 and install/compile this old
package for this version.
2. Or you could try to find some similar package for recent R.
3. Or you could check source code for fdim and reprogram it to get rid of
the error.
My recommendation is to try option 2 first.
And keep your messages posted to rhelp as others my give you different insight.
Cheers and good luck.
