Dear all,

I am trying to run the function "lambdaSets" using the package "RBGL".
This package uses another package "graph" which has been removed from
the CRAN repository, but is available at the archive
(http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/graph/).

I installed the package from the R menu at "install packages from
local zip files" (after downloading the "graph_1.30.0.tar.gz" file,
unzipping it and making it a zip file; gz is not recognized by R.). I
get no warning here so I assumed installation went well. However, when
I type "require(RBGL)" I get the error message that: "Failed with
error:  ‘'graph' is not a valid installed package’".

Installing a package is not that simple. R does various processing when taking the source tar.gz file and producing the binary image that it puts in the .zip. You would need to run

R CMD INSTALL graph_1.30.0.tar.gz

to do the install, but you probably don't have the tools installed to get this to work.

However, graph is available on the Bioconductor web site, so if you select "BioC software" as a repository selection, the regular menu entry for installing packages should work. I just tested it on Windows, which I assume you're using (since other platforms don't use .zip).

I am using R version 2.12.2 (2011-2-25). I am a new user so your
advice would be of great help.

Best wishes,
Joe
