Hi, 
I am having real problems downloading the package 'QRMlib'. The tar.gz file
is shown here:

http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/QRMlib/

I have downloaded this to my local folder and entered the following command:

nstall.packages("myLocalFolder/QRMlib_1.4.5.1.tar.gz", repos = NULL)

but I am getting the following error message

Installing package(s) into ?C:/Program Files/R/R-2.14.1/library?
(as ?lib? is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
  error 1 in extracting from zip file
Warning in install.packages :
  cannot open compressed file 'QRMlib_1.4.5.1.tar.gz/DESCRIPTION', probable
reason 'No such file or directory'
Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks

Do you perhaps need to add install.packages(...,  type="src")? Just a
(untested) guess...

Dear all:

well, what Duncan has suggested would work in principle. However, the dependencies of QRMlib as contained in the archive have been deprecated and the package maintainer (cc'ed to this email directly) is pretty close to a re-release of his package on CRAN, whereby primarily the outdated package dependency to fSeries is changed to timeSeries. 
Hence, before grabbing the deprecated package dependencies on R-Forge and install these, it might be worth waiting for the re-submittance of QRMlib to CRAN, given that it will be made in due course. Scott, do you have any further information whence QRMlib will be made available again on CRAN?

Best,
Bernhard

Thanks for the reply guys. Well, I've tried the following command after
installing the package dependancies including timeSeries:

install.packages(file_name, type = "source", repos = NULL)
 
Ans still no luck...I get the following error message:

As stated, you need to install the *deprecated* dependencies of QRMlib as shown in its DESCRIPTION as well as the reverse dependent *deprecated* packages. These can still be fetched from R-Forge (Rmetrics project). The package 'timeSeries' will become a dependency of the to be re-released QRMlib package on CRAN.

I think you'll need to install fEcofin from CRAN, and then the following
.tar.gz files from the CRAN archives:
fUtilities
fCalenday
fSeries

And then try installing the QRMlib .tar.gz.

If you're still having problems, try: 
"C:/Program Files/R/R-2.14.0/bin/x64/R" CMD check "QRMlib_1.4.5.1.tar.gz"
(or whatever is equivalent for your R installation) from the Windows command
prompt .  That will output more useful information on errors and warnings.

According to the QRMlib package pdf, 

http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/doc/packages/QRMlib.pdf

the package depennds on methods, fCalendar, fEcofin, mvtnorm,
chron,its,Hmisc. I have installed all of these (some were retrieved from
archive and some were retrieved from CRAN) and still getting errors.

I'm just wondering whether anyone has successfully loaded QRMlib??

I installed fEcofin, fUtilities, fCalenday, and fSeries from the CRAN
archives and was able to install and load QRMlib.

Which errors does "R CMD check QRMlib_1.4.5.1.tar.gz" show?

In command prompt, I direct to the following directory:

C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.1\bin

Now I enter:

R CMD check "my_local_folder\QRMlib_1.4.5.1.tar.gz"

The following appears:

* using log directory 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.14.1/bin/QRMlib.Rcheck'

* checking package dependencies ... OK
* checking if this is a source package ... OK

As from R 2.14.0 all packages need a namespace.
One will be generated on installation, but it is better to handcraft a
NAMESPACE file: R CMD build will produce a suitable starting point.
* checking for .dll and .exe files ... OK
* checking whether package 'QRMlib' can be installed ... ERROR
Installation failed.
See 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.14.1/bin/QRMlib.Rcheck/00install.out' for

Next, you should check C:/Program

Please quote context.

You can open it with any plain text editor. (i.e., notepad)

I wouldn't see myself as an experienced R user soI would appreciate if anyone
is able to give me a clear set of instructions on how to install and load
QRMlib. The steps I've followed are:

1: Download 'QRMlib_1.4.5.1.tar.gz' from
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/QRMlib/ to my local folder.

2. QRMlib depends on methods, fCalendar, fEcofin, mvtnorm, chron,its,Hmisc
so I install all of these. I install teh following from within RStuidos
using the  Packages tab:

a) mvtnorm
b) chron
c) its
d) Hmisc 
e) methods

And download the tar.gz files from the archive for:

A) fCalendar
b) fEcofin

In R, I also use the install.packages with type = "source" and repos = NULL
to install the packages listed in A) and B)

3. In R, then enter

iinstall.packages(file_name, type ="source", repos = NULL)

where file_name is the directory for QRMlib_1.4.5.1.tar.gz.

It outputs the following error:

Installing package(s) into ?C:/Program Files/R/R-2.14.1/library?

Well, because QRMlib interfaces C routines (IIRC), the error message is pretty indicative, i.e. these routines cannot be compiled. Now, without further information there is not much to recommend, but:

1) check your RTools installation
2) Ask the package maintainer (cc'ed) when he will re-release QRMlib on CRAN, be patient until the binaries have been populated and use install.packages()

Best,
Bernhard

QRMlib built without errors on my WIndows machine.  Here's the resulting zip
binary:
http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/jthetzel-public/QRMlib_1.4.5.1.zip

Will that install on your machine?
