Hello R community members,
I'm trying to install the 'rqpd' package which is developed by Roger
Koenker and Stefan Bache. When I try to install the package using the
command 'install.packages("rqpd",repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")'
I'm getting the following two messages:
i) package ?rqpd? is available as a source package but not as a binary
ii) package ?rqpd? is not available (for R version 3.0.1)
Are you using Windows or OS X? R-Forge doesn't currently provide binaries for OS X.
On checking the Log of /pkg on the r-forge.r.project.org website, I find that the package was last modified on May 8,2012 and was made compatible with R>2.14. "Quick fix to make it compile for R >= 2.14" So, in another attempt, I downloaded the older version of R (2.14) to see if the 'rqpd' package could be installed using the older version, but still I had no luck.
That's because R-Forge no longer provide binaries for 2.14.x.
Is there any way I could still use this package?
Binaries seem to be available for 2.15.x. Alternatively, you can always build from source and that'll work for 3.0.x. HTH, Henric
Thank you for your help. Best regards, Manish
