Hello again,

I did not expect the browser to automatically extract, so I changed the Safari 
setting and it downloaded as a “gz” file.

It is clear now that R is finding the package but I get a different error as 
follows:

install.packages("polycor_0.7-8.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source")
ERROR: dependency ‘mvtnorm’ is not available for package ‘polycor’
* removing 
‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/library/polycor’

You can run

install.packages("mvtnorm")

and it will be installed from CRAN. It's unfortunate that install.packages() doesn't do this automatically when you install a tar.gz file, but that's the way it is.

Warning message:
In install.packages("polycor_0.7-8.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source") :
   installation of package ‘polycor_0.7-8.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

I get the same error when I try Rui’s way of accessing the file.

Suggestions online are along the lines of installing the dependencies 
separately, but I am not sure how to go about separating the file into its 
dependencies?

Thank you so much!

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/> 
<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> 
<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.

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’
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", ...) :
  unsupported URL scheme

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

Best,
Evguenia
