Hello, I'm trying to install the package metRology from SourceForge. I save
the zip file metRology_0.9-06.tar.gz to my Windows 7 machine, and try to
install the package using the RGUI: Packages > Install packages from local zip
files > metRology_0.9-06.tar.gz. There's no .zip extension, but R seems to go
to work on the installation with a couple warning messages and one error.
The menu Packages > Load Package ... doesn't provide metrology as one of the
choices.
======R session window ========
> utils:::menuInstallLocal()
Warning in unzip(zipname, exdir = dest) :
error 1 in extracting from zip file
Warning in read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) :
cannot open compressed file 'metRology_0.9-06.tar.gz/DESCRIPTION', probable
reason 'No such file or directory'
Error in read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) :
cannot open the connection
Do I use a utility such as 7-zip to decompress the underlying files, then
re-zip into a file with the .zip extension?
Thank you, Paul
