Every time I try to install the doBy package I receive this error message: Warning in install.packages : error 1 in extracting from zip file Warning in install.packages : cannot open compressed file 'mvtnorm/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory' Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection Has anyone run into this problem?

Generally resolving installation problems requires more detail. The glaringly obvious question after seeing that error message would be, do you have `mvtnorm` installed? But even if you do have it installed there would be many other questions that remain unanswered. ########------------------------------------------------------- #############
PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
Where you will be provided with a request to include a variety of specifics.
and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

In this case the code would mean .... how, _exactly_ are you "trying to install" the package. On R-help brevity is not the "soul of wit" but rather the opposite. David Winsemius, MD West Hartford, CT
