Brian and Duncan. Thank you for your help. What I actually am trying to install is fPortfolioSolver, and symphony is the only package I am missing in order to be able to complete the installation. Do you know by any chance what could I do about this?
From what others have said, you probably need to work on a different OS than 32 bit Windows.
If that's not an option, it may be possible that what you need in fPortfolioSolver doesn't depend on Symphony; you could try removing the dependency from the DESCRIPTION file for fPortfolioSolver and see if anything still works. But this is likely to be a futile effort.
