Hi Jeff,

Many thanks for your reply.I know that R packages can be downloaded as "tar.gz" file for Mac OS X from CRAN sources. I have found on Internet that the command is the following :

R CMD INSTALL -1 rlme_0.4.tar.gz

When I run that command on my R console, I get an error as you can read here below.

What am I doing wrong ?


> R CMD INSTALL -1 rlme_0.4.tar.gz
Erreur : unexpected symbol in "R CMD"

Google is your friend... try searching for "CRAN rlme".

The bad thing about contributed packages is that sometimes the maintainers stop maintaining their packages. The good thing is that the source is still there so you can go fix it if you really need it.
