Dear all,
I am trying to install a package called "GFCURE" from a local zip
file. This package fits a cure survival model and has been
downloaded from:
http://post.queensu.ca/~pengp/software.html
However, it is not an R package. Read the Readme.txt in the zip file
for the instructions for use with R (under Windows).
The problem is that when I try to install this package from a local
zip file using R, I've got the following error message:
Error in gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open compressed file 'gfcureWinR/DESCRIPTION',
probable reason 'No such file or directory'
First, I thought it was an internal problem. I then asked some of
my colleagues to do the same thing and they had the same error
message.
I would be very grateful if you can help me on that matter.
It would have been reasonable to ask the author (Cc:ed here) for help,
since then he will become aware that potential users have been
confused by his instructions.
