I think it might be even simpler at least for now. The error checking done by
CRAN can be more rigorous than that done when an installation is done locally.
I don't see a report in the current package checks listing of what error was
identified, but experimentation is always an option. When I download the last
archived version and install from source I get no error on R 3.2.2 (Mac-SL
fork):
install.packages('~/Downloads/SASxport_1.5.0.tar.gz', repos = NULL ,
type="source")
Best;
