Does anyone have a work-around for a failed installation of this package? > library(xlsReadWrite) xlsReadWrite version (cran shlib) Copyright (C) 2010 Hans-Peter Suter, Treetron, Switzerland.
!! Your installation contains the cran placeholder shlib (dll/so). Please get the regular shlib (420 KB) by executing the following command: xls.getshlib() However, the xls.getshlib() command fails with this error: > xls.getshlib() Loading required package: tools --- xls.getshlib running... --- Error in copyOrDownload(url) : downloading 'http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2602516/swissrpkg/bin/win32/shlib/xlsReadWrite_1.5.1_dll.zip' to 'D:\DOCUME~1\lucketd\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rtmp1fxn1L/xlsReadWrite.zip' failed In addition: Warning message: In download.file(url, fpzip.temp, method = "internal", quiet = TRUE, : unable to connect to 'dl.dropbox.com' on port 80. I am able to download the required ZIP files and extract the contents manually but am not 100% sure where they should be located, or how to remove/replace the "CRAN placeholder". ------------------------------------------ Many thanks for any help.
