Dear all,
I'm trying to install in R the package blme that has been removed from R
cran but it is still in the Archive:
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/blme/

I have a Mac OSX and I have been trying with the following command from
the Shell:

R CMD INSTALL --build
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/blme/blme_0.01-4.tar.gz

getting the following answer: invalid package ‘0.01-4.tar.gz’

Can somebody help me? Are there other ways?

You have to download the file first. 'INSTALL' does not know about URLs, as reading ?INSTALL would have reminded you.

     Both ‘lib’ and the elements of ‘pkgs’ may be absolute or relative
     path names of directories.  ‘pkgs’ may also contain names of
     package archive files: these are then extracted to a temporary
     directory.  These are tarballs containing a single directory,
     optionally compressed by ‘gzip’, ‘bzip2’, ‘xz’ or ‘compress’.
     Finally, binary package archive files (as created by ‘R CMD
     INSTALL --build’) can be supplied.



Thanks in advance,
Grazia
