I'm having trouble un 'tar'ing the file ctest_0_9-3_tar.tar. When using the command "tar -xv" on a UNIX machine I get the "checksum error" message. When trying to use WinZip on a Win95 machine it gives an error reading the header. I'm downloading from the CRAN site at Carnegie Mellon. Could the file there be corrupted?
The version on ftp://franz.stat.wisc.edu/pub/CRAN/src/contrib
The version at Carnegie Mellon is OK too. At a guess, it looks like Jay King is forgetting to uncompress the file first. Either use GNU tar with the "z" option, or do zcat ctest_0.9-3.tar.gz | tar -xvf - --Mike -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
