Dear list,
this may not be related to R but rather to my OS, but I do not
understand the issue of compiling R packages deeply enough to figure out
the exact cause of the problem.
I am trying to install a R package from source as it is not yet
available under Cran (Rssa, downloaded here: https://github.com/asl/rssa).
Running
sudo R CMD INSTALL asl-rssa-6f458e4.tar.gz
from the console however gives me these error messages:
Warnung in untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir) :
checksum error for entry 'pax_global_header'
Fehler in untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir) : unsupported entry type ‘g’
Does anybody have any hints on how to solve this? Do I have the wrong
packing program installed?
I am trying this with Ubuntu 9.10 and the following R system:
> sessionInfo()
R version 2.12.0 (2010-10-15)
Platform: i486-pc-linux-gnu (32-bit)
locale:
[1] LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C
[3] LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=de_DE.UTF-8
[5] LC_MONETARY=C LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.UTF-8
[7] LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_NAME=C
[9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C
[11] LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C
attached base packages:
[1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base
loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] tools_2.12.0
Thanks for any hints! Trying the same with another package downloaded
from Cran worked.
Jannis
