Hi all, I'm trying to load the quantreg package but keep running into problems no matter which method I have tried. Does anybody know what this error (below) means in plain language and what I might do to get this installed. I have not had problems downloading/installing/running packages in the past. thanks in advance, derek Begin R output: trying URL 'http://cran.stat.ucla.edu/src/contrib/quantreg_4.65.tar.gz' Content type 'application/x-tar' length 2366176 bytes (2.3 Mb) opened URL ================================================== downloaded 2.3 Mb * installing *source* package ?quantreg? ... ** libs *** arch - i386 gfortran -arch i386 -fPIC -g -O2 -c akj.f -o akj.o make: gfortran: No such file or directory make: *** [akj.o] Error 1 ERROR: compilation failed for package ?quantreg? * removing ?/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.12/Resources/library/quantreg?

Perhaps you didn't install any from source that require a fortran compiler. That's what appears to be missing from your machine (of whatever unstated OS you may be running.)

Hi Derek, I infer from the output that you're using a Mac. Generally including that kind of information is useful. Your computer lacks the requisite software to install the package. Make is saying that it can't find 'gfortran'. See this page for some more insight: http://r.research.att.com/tools/ I hope that this helps, Andrew

Actually, you are trying to *install* it - on a Mac (without telling us) - from source (why? people usually install binary packages there) - asking on the wrong list (R-sig-mac is appropriate) - with an incomplete R installation. Go to the CRAN Mac OS X pages and read what they say about installing Tcl/Tk and gfortran. And follow-ups to R-sig-mac please.
