I have R version 2.15.3 When i try to load it:

library (tawny)

i receive this response:

package ?parser? could not be loaded

The package Parser in not on Cran anymore, it seems a dead project!
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/parser/index.html

If i try to manual install parser_0.1.tar.gz i receive an error and can't
install it.

The question is. Is today impossible to use tawny package? Is there a way to
solve this problem that seems caused by parser package?

Thank you very much
The release version of tawny has no such dependency and builds just fine on CRAN. Try updating that instead.

Install a recent version of tawny that does not depend on the other package?

I can install, but can't load without parser package.
It seems true for 2.15.3 version of R

Someone says that with R 3.0 no problem.

My question is if there is some possibility to have a working tawny on R 2.15.3

I don't want upgrade to R 3.0 because have one package that doesn't work on
R 3.0

I have no specific expertise here, but I just wanted to point out that
this sounds like a losing strategy long term: As new packages and
newer versions of packages come out that fix bugs and add features,
you'll be unable to use them because you'll be stuck with 2.15.3 . I
suggest you bite the bullet and follow the experts' advice to get
things working with the current R version now.

Cheers,

It seems that the only possibility for me is to install R 3.0
So i have a question. 
Now i use R 2.15.3 and Rstudio (which is linked to R 2.15.3)
Can i install R 3.0 in another directory but leave R 2.15.3 as default or
primary R  ? Any problems to do this? Something to be careful?
