I'm not sure I would trust that person. They seem a bit uninformed.

The latest version of pkg-prob at the Archive directory of CRAN indicates that
it was last updated within this year. The DESCRIPTION file indicates that it
does not need compilation, but:
Depends: combinat, fAsianOptions
So there should be code in text files in its ../R directory which can be
sourced from that directory.
~myuser_name$ ls /Users/../Downloads/prob/R
characteristicfunctions.r simulation.r utils-spaces.r
genData.R spaces-examples.r utils-subsets.r
misc.r spaces-prob.r
prob.r utils-events.r
Or you can install from source after downloading:
install.packages("~/Downloads/prob", repo=NULL,type="source")
# Success
> library(prob) # So does require having several other packages
