I have been trying to install the R polycor package without any success. I want
to install version 0.7-8 because it is supposed to work with R version 3.1.0,
which I have to use to run an R plug-in for SPSS. But I get a message that
polycor is not available for R version 3.1.0:
> install.packages("polycor",
> repos="C:/Users/mkevelson/Documents/polycor_0.7-8 (1)/polycor/R")
Installing package into 'C:/Users/mkevelson/Documents/R/win-library/3.1'
(as 'lib' is unspecified)
Warning: unable to access index for repository
C:/Users/mkevelson/Documents/polycor_0.7-8 (1)/polycor/R/bin/windows/contrib/3.1
Warning message:
package 'polycor' is not available (for R version 3.1.0)
I also tried installing the current version of polycor directly from R-Forge in
R version 3.3.1, also without success:
> install.packages("polycor", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org";)
Installing package into 'C:/Users/mkevelson/Documents/R/win-library/3.3'

In addition: Warning messages:

3: In read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Type")) :

I would greatly appreciate any advice you have on how to successfully install
the polycor package.
Thank you,
Marisol
