Dear all: well, what Duncan has suggested would work in principle. However, the dependencies of QRMlib as contained in the archive have been deprecated and the package maintainer (cc'ed to this email directly) is pretty close to a re-release of his package on CRAN, whereby primarily the outdated package dependency to fSeries is changed to timeSeries. Hence, before grabbing the deprecated package dependencies on R-Forge and install these, it might be worth waiting for the re-submittance of QRMlib to CRAN, given that it will be made in due course. Scott, do you have any further information whence QRMlib will be made available again on CRAN?

That should be type="source", and that should solve the problem, assuming Deepan has the necessary tools installed. If not, he can get them from CRAN in the bin/windows/Rtools directory.
