If you are intimidated by the requirement to learn to fix packages that have Cpp code in them (as this one does a single cpp routine) you could consider alternate routes to satisfaction. Do you need to have the entire package, or do you just need some of the R code that is not dependent on the compiled components of that package? If so, you can just unpack the tar.gz file and copy-paste or source() the needed code into your session. You could also use a version of R (say r 2.13.x) that doesn't require a NAMESPACE (since that is the reported failing when I attempted to compile it just now and someone on StackOverflow reported that it could be compiled frm source 2 years ago.) That's a decidedly inferior option. Adding a NAMESPACE isn't _that_ hard. 5000+ package atuhors seem to have mastered it. >> [[alternative HTML version deleted]] >> (You should also learn to post in plain text.) -- David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
