Besides the immediate error in the way the path was constructed in the install.packages() call, using a single backslash, which needs to be escaped: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#R-can_0027t-find-my-file there are likely to be issues from trying to install an old version of the package on a newer version of R, perhaps the lack of the requisite development tools for compiling FORTRAN: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#Can-I-install-packages-into-libraries-in-this-version_003f and other issues as well. Depending upon how far back you need to go in package versions, there may be pre-compiled Windows binaries (.zip files) available in directories here: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/ Regards, Marc Schwartz > >> Regards, >> Long ______________________________________________ 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.
