[R] problem with installing a local zip file : GFCURE
Dear all, I am trying to install a package called GFCURE from a local zip file. This package fits a cure survival model and has been downloaded from: http://post.queensu.ca/~pengp/software.html The problem is that when I try to install this package from a local zip file using R, I've got the following error message: Error in gzfile(file, r) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In gzfile(file, r) : cannot open compressed file 'gfcureWinR/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory' First, I thought it was an internal problem. I then asked some of my colleagues to do the same thing and they had the same error message. I would be very grateful if you can help me on that matter.

Read the Readme.txt in the zip file for the instructions for use with R (under Windows). The problem is that when I try to install this package from a local zip file using R, I've got the following error message: Error in gzfile(file, r) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In gzfile(file, r) : cannot open compressed file 'gfcureWinR/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory' First, I thought it was an internal problem.

It would have been reasonable to ask the author (Cc:ed here) for help, since then he will become aware that potential users have been confused by his instructions. -- Brian D.
