I don't see a path to that file's location.
The expansion from pkg_version.tar.gz might be automatic, but I do generally
expand such file into its own directory and then drag that directory icon into
the console so my command would look like:
install.packages("~/Downloads/fAsianOptions", dependencies=TRUE, repos=NULL,
type = "source")
I suggest you learn to post in plain text since your HTML postings are loosing
their carriage returns.
