You can: (1) use the old version of R that you previously used and under which it presumably still works. Old versions of R are available on CRAN. or (2) rebuild and install the old package from source: Rcmd INSTALL mypackage_1.1-1.tar.gz If R has changed so much that it will no longer build, install or run under the latest version of R then you will need to fix up the source code and rebuild and reinstall the package. -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
