I am assuming you are using Windows. So why did you download the source file? If you are using the Packages -> Install packages from local zip files menu, why not just choose Install packages from CRAN, then select pls.pcr?
Alternatively if you want to download the "compiled" package, you should do it under http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib Please refer to Section 3.1 of the R for Windows FAQ for details (http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/rw-FAQ.html) On Wed, 18 Jun 2003, Dowkiw, Arnaud wrote: > Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2003 14:46:59 +1000 > From: "Dowkiw, Arnaud" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [R] install pls.pcr package > > How do you install a package from CRAN ?
