Hello R community members,

I'm trying to install the 'rqpd' package which is developed by Roger 
Koenker and Stefan Bache. When I try to install the package using the 
command 'install.packages("rqpd",repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")' 
I'm getting the following two messages:

i) package ?rqpd? is available as a source package but not as a binary
ii) package ?rqpd? is not available (for R version 3.0.1)

On checking the Log of /pkg on the r-forge.r.project.org website, I find 
that the package was last modified on May 8,2012 and was made compatible 
with R>2.14.

"Quick fix to make it compile for R >= 2.14"


So, in another attempt, I downloaded the older version of R (2.14) to see if the 'rqpd' package could be installed using the older version, but still I had no luck.


Is there any way I could still use this package?


Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Manish

Manish,

Are you using Windows or OS X?  R-Forge doesn't currently provide 
binaries for OS X.
That's because R-Forge no longer provide binaries for 2.14.x.
Binaries seem to be available for 2.15.x.  Alternatively, you can always 
build from source and that'll work for 3.0.x.


HTH,
Henric
