Thanks. Since quantstrat showed a Last change date of only 6 days ago and a Build status of "Current", I blithely assumed that the command that is shown for installing it would work:
install.packages("quantstrat", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org") Installing package into ‘/Users/ihf/Library/R/3.0/library’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified) Warning: unable to access index for repository http://R-Forge.R-project.org/bin/macosx/contrib/3.0 package ‘quantstrat’ is available as a source package but not as a binary Warning message: package ‘quantstrat’ is not available (for R version 3.0.1) Based on the posting you referred to on stackoverflow, I need to download the SVN version and then see if I can build it. Although, I presume that if it were that simple, why would the version crated a week ago not work?
