Hello,

I am having difficulty installing the most recent compatible version of the “polycor" 
package (0.7-8), for R 3.2.1 on my Mac. Here is the package source page: 
https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/polycor/ 
<https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/polycor/>.

This version of R is necessary for the R Essentials for the IBM Statistical Package 
for Social Sciences (SPSS) extension. I found this thread on the problem 
(http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Installing-polycor-package-td4726101.html 
<http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Installing-polycor-package-td4726101.html>) but 
it does not offer much help as my SPSS version will not recognize the most recent 
versions of R.

I'd suggest contacting IBM for support.


The polycor package is not available in the repository of R 3.2.1. Here is the 
code I tried to install the package from the archive and the errors I received:

install.packages("/polycor_0.7-8.tar", repos=NULL, type="source")
Warning: invalid package ‘/polycor_0.7-8.tar’

As Michael said, you shouldn't unpack the tar.gz file.

Error: ERROR: no packages specified
Warning message:
In install.packages("/polycor_0.7-8.tar", repos = NULL, type = "source") :
   installation of package ‘/polycor_0.7-8.tar’ had non-zero exit status
install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/polycor/polycor_0.7-8.tar.gz";,
 repos=NULL, type="source")
Error in download.file(p, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :

Any ideas for other alternatives would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for 
your time!

Best,
