What makes you say this? What errors are reprorted? ("Doesn't seems to run" is a bit vague.)

I was able to install version 1.0 from sources with:

install.packages("climstats", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org", type="source")

(I agree that the zipfile for Windows was not found.)

R version 3.0.1 Patched (2013-07-23 r63392) Running Mac OS 10.7.5. It appears to require a fair number of external package, so you would need to check the Depends in the description file. 

Depends: R (>= 2.13), raster, rgdal, chron, zoo, sp, ncdf, R.utils

It did not appear to do any C or Fortran compiling, so I think that means you do not need to have RTools installed on Windows.

But since it requires rgdal, you would need to have GDAL installed if you were to get it to load.
