Hi William,
It's not clear to me why you need this particular older version of
MCMCpack. From the archive I find MCMCpack_1.2-4 dates back to
2012-06-14, and MCMCpack_1.2-4.1 dates back to 2013-04-07:
MCMCpack_1.2-4.1.tar.gz 2013-04-07 00:05 481K
MCMCpack_1.2-4.tar.gz 2012-06-14 12:36 482K
Have you tried newer versions of MCMCpack? While the newest version of
MCMCpack (1.4-5) may require R (≥ 3.6), I have sessionInfo() logs
suggesting that MCMCpack_1.4-3 (2018-05-15 09:54 672K) ran just fine
under R version 3.3.3 (2017-03-06) -- "Another Canoe". In fact, an
archived version of the MCMCpack_1.4-3 DESCRIPTION_file indicates that
MCMCpack_1.4-3 only requires R (>= 2.10.0).
Hope this helps,
Bill.
