I am making my first submission to Plos One and am trying to install the
extrafonts package to obtain Arial for the figures. "extrafonts" was archived
at the end of last month so I downloaded first the extrafont_0.16.tar.gz file
and then the older extrafont_0.15.tar.gz file.
I selected "Install packages(s) from local zip file" from the Packages menu of
my installation of R x64 3.0.0
I got:
> utils:::menuInstallLocal()
Error in read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) :
cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In unzip(zipname, exdir = dest) : error 1 in extracting from zip file
2: In read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) :
cannot open compressed file 'extrafont_0.15.tar.gz/DESCRIPTION', probable
reason 'No such file or directory'
When I unzip these gz files using Winzip I do find a DESCRIPTION file.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Robin
