To my astonishment, it actually works for me (in Linux)
with the source package...
OTOH, gking.harvard.edu is not really a CRAN mirror, and "GKing"
has probably not yet created the bin/windows/contrib/1.9/
directory and its contents.
As a matter of fact, I believe he should rather submit his
package to CRAN proper and you and he wouldn't have to deal with
such things as creating now directories when a the version of R
is bumped up.
As he says on the Zelig web pages, the easy alternative is to
download the zip file and install that from the Package menu on
Windows.

Martin
