Yes, I should have mentioned that I tried this same line of code and I still got an error. -----Original Message----- From: Duncan Murdoch <murdoch.duncan at gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 4, 2019 8:32 AM To: Prophet, William <William.Prophet at kochind.com>; r-help at r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] package MCMCpack Sent by an external sender ----------------------------------------------------------------------

install.packages("MCMCpack")
Warning in install.packages : package 'MCMCpack' is not available (for R version 3.5.3) I have tried to install earlier versions of the "MCMCpack" library which I obtained from the following website: https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/MCMCpack/ using the following code: packageurl <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/MCMCpack/MCMCpack_1.2-4.tar.gz" install.packages(packageurl, type="source")
That's not the way to install a tarball. You should use install.packages(packageurl, type="source", repos=NULL) However, you may still have problems: when I tried that, the install failed because of C++ errors. I don't know if configure options (e.g. specifying a particular version of C++) would have fixed the problems. Duncan Murdoch
but I get an identical error message:
install.packages(packageurl, type="source")
Warning in install.packages : package 'https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/MCMCpack/MCMCpack_1.2- 4.tar.gz' is not available (for R version 3.5.3) I realize that updating my R version to 3.6.1 could possibly solve the problem, but this would be impractical for me because my version needs to be consistent with others on my team. In any case, the fact that I am getting errors (detailed above) with *every* version of "MCMCpack" seems odd. Do you have any suggestions for how I can install a working version of "MCMCpack" for my version of R? Thank you, Bill [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
