Based upon comments I received on the R-Help list, I ran the following
commands and got the following output:
> drat::addRepo("ghrr")
> install.packages("RQuantLib", type="binary")

This time, I used the mirror in Europe rather than a mirror in the
United States and it worked. I am wondering if that matters. I want to
thank everybody for their help.

OA,
Thanks for the response. I downloaded the file RQuantLib_0.4.4.tar.gz
into a directory c:\r.zip on my Windows machine. I then ran the
following command and I received the following output:
install.packages("RQuantLib", lib="/r.zip/")
Warning message:
package ‘RQuantLib’ is not available (for R version 3.4.3)
The install.packages command should include repo=NULL when installing from local
binary package, and it also should include type="source when the package is not
binary.
I did not unpack the .gz file. Should I have?
Please comment.

Hi Bob,
I don't know what is the cause of your trouble but try this:
1. Download the zip of package.
2. And install it from local zip files. This you find on the Packages
menu.
Hope it helps

Joshua,
Thanks for the response. When you said at least version 3.4.0, I
upgraded to 3.4.2 which I believe is the current version. Now, I
attempted to install the package RQuantLib but it did not work.
Here is what I got:
install.packages("RQuantLib")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/rsher/Documents/R/win-library/3.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning message:

Please help.
Thanks,

Revised)
The package did not install. Am I doing something wrong.
Is the package
going to be updated for the latest version of R?
Windows binary packages are only built for the most current
(major)
version of R. You need to upgrade to at least R-3.4.0, or you
will
have to install RQuantLib (and therefore QuantLib itself) from
source.
Thanks,
Bob
