Nasir, You are trying to install and run a compressed archive that contains the SOURCE CODE for R, not an executable version of the application. You need to download the binary executable version of R for installation. You don't indicate your operating system, but go here: http://cran.ms.unimelb.edu.au/ and look at the section entitled: Download and Install R where binaries for Windows and OSX are available by following the appropriate link. If by chance you are on a Linux variant, there are binaries available for selected distributions, but we would need more information to guide you further. HTH, Marc Schwartz P.S. I dropped the R-devel e-mail cc:. Please only send queries to one list.
