Dear Ben,
I think you are the person I have to contact because I am trying to install
the glmmADMB package, but I have found some problems.
I followed this instructions:
First try: install.packages("glmmADMB",
repos="http://r-forge.r-project.org")
And I got this message: In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available,
lib) :
package 'glmmADMB' is not available (for R version 2.14.0)
So I tried with: install.packages("glmmADMB",
repos="http://r-forge.r-project.org",type="source")
And it also field with the same error. So I tried this:
If this fails, the most likely explanation is an internet connection
problem. Go to the R-forge packages page for the glmmADMB project and
download the source package (search for the link labeled "Package source
(.tar.gz)") to your computer. (If this link is not found, contact the
package maintainers.) Put this file (which will be called
glmmADMB_xxxx.tar.gz, where xxxx is the version number) in your R working
directory and try: install.packages("glmmADMB_xxxx.tar.gz",repos=NULL,
type="source")
But again I went to this page and the linked "Package source (tar.gz) drove
me to a no existing page. So I don't know what else I can do. Some dyas ago
I tried with older versions of R but it also didn't work.
Thanks for your attention
Best wishes

For what it's worth: due to various glitches/stupidities, glmmADMB wasn't building on R-forge for a few days. The source package now seems to be building fine, although the binary packages aren't there (for reasons I don't understand ...) Furthermore, R2admb (on which glmmADMB now depends) is now on CRAN so should be even easier to install. Finally, I put a backup version of both on a local repository, and expanded the installation instructions at http://glmmadmb.r-forge.r-project.org Do let me know (offline) if you have further trouble installing glmmADMB even after these improvements. I have also recognized (finally) that at the moment the glmmADMB binaries just won't run on OS 10.5 or earlier. There are some instructions on the web page now for brave souls who are willing to compile ADMB from scratch in order to get glmmADMB working on such operating systems ...
