(1) You might get better mileage asking this on the r-sig-mac list.
(2) The phenomena you describe are puzzling and are beyond my capacity
to explain. Perhaps someone else will be able to enlighten you.
(3) Out of idle curiosity I went to the github site and downloaded the
zip file of the package. (I could not see a *.tag.gz file, but perhaps
I just don't understand how github works. Actually, there's no
"perhaps" about it!)
I unzipped the download and then did
R CMD build LaplacesDemon-master
in the appropriate directory. This created a file
LaplacesDemon_15.03.19.tar.gz
Note that the version number seems to be as you require.
I then used your install.packages syntax, and the package installed
seamlessly. It also loaded seamlessly.
So I don't know why the computer gods are picking on you.
Note that I am not working on a Mac, but rather running Linux (as do all
civilized human beings! :-) )
cheers,
Rolf Turner

Dear all,
I've recently changed my Mac and I am trying to reinstall my commonly
used R-packages. I'm having troubles with a package called
LaplacesDemon.
This package is no more in the CRAN list and the developers web page
(http://www.bayesian-inference.com/software) is out for more than
half a year. Old versions of the package can still be found in tar.gz
in
https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/LaplacesDemon/
and in github
https://github.com/ecbrown/LaplacesDemon
Last version is LaplacesDemon_13.03.04.tar.gz, but I was able to get
version LaplacesDemon_15.03.19.tar.gz time ago (can't find it
anymore).
I have tried to install this packages from source in my computer
using
install.packages("/Users/.../LaplacesDemon_15.03.19.tar.gz", repos
= NULL, type="source")
answer:
Warning: invalid package 'Users/.../LaplacesDemon_15.03.19.tar.gz’
Error: ERROR: no packages specified Warning message: In
install.packages("Users/.../LaplacesDemon_15.03.19.tar.gz", :
installation of package ‘Users/.../LaplacesDemon_15.03.19.tar.gz’ had
non-zero exit status
I also tried the 'Packages & Data' menu in R, selecting the source
file or the directory from Finder and I got this message:
* installing *source* package ‘LaplacesDemon’ ... ** R ** data **
inst ** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading ** help
*** installing help indices ** building package indices **
installing vignettes ** testing if installed package can be loaded
* DONE (LaplacesDemon)
but
library(LaplacesDemon)
Error in library(LaplacesDemon) : there is no package called
‘LaplacesDemon’
Finally I tried
install.packages("devtools") library(devtools)
install_github("ecbrown/LaplacesDemon")
but I am not able to install devtools (for similar reasons). So my
questions are:
-Do anyone knows how to install this packages in my Mac? -Do anyone
knows were can I find the information previously content in
http://www.bayesian-inference.com/software?
