Issue with installing BRugs
First for general info: Although I am listed as maintainer I am not maintaining this version currently. Thanks to the developers who offer this version and work on it. We will try to get a version on CRAN soon. For your specific question: Download the file and rename it to BRugs_0.6-1.zip. Then try again. R expects to get packages in the way they were created by R CMD INSTALL --build, not with a changed filename which happened to this version (with the added R12). Best wishes, Uwe Ligges

Hello, all. When I try to install the most recent BRugs package (the one that uses version 3.1.2), found here: http://www.openbugs.info/w/UserContributedCode I get the following error:
utils:::menuInstallLocal()
Error in gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open compressed file 'BRugs_0.6-1R12/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory' I got the same message on two different computers, and successfully installed a different package from a .zip file right afterwards - so it would seem as though I have the correct permissions. (A little Googling also showed that some people have success when simply retrying to do the install - no luck there, either.) Any ideas on how to work around this? I really need that updated version of BRugs! Thanks, Kyle -------------------------------------------------- Kyle R.
