Thank you for your reply. I have tried various versions and I get an error in each case. In the case of MCMCpack_1.4-3 although the error may be related to something specific in my configuration. In any case, I get the following error when I try to install that version:

From the archive I find MCMCpack_1.2-4 dates back to 2012-06-14, and MCMCpack_1.2-4.1 dates back to 2013-04-07: MCMCpack_1.2-4.1.tar.gz 2013-04-07 00:05 481K MCMCpack_1.2-4.tar.gz 2012-06-14 12:36 482K Have you tried newer versions of MCMCpack? While the newest version of MCMCpack (1.4-5) may require R (≥ 3.6), I have sessionInfo() logs suggesting that MCMCpack_1.4-3 (2018-05-15 09:54 672K) ran just fine under R version 3.3.3 (2017-03-06) -- "Another Canoe". In fact, an archived version of the MCMCpack_1.4-3 DESCRIPTION_file indicates that MCMCpack_1.4-3 only requires R (>= 2.10.0). Hope this helps, Bill. W.
