1. My best guess, and it is only a guess, is that the package wasn't built properly. That's assuming that when you used the menu, you navigated to the zip file.
2. Please review the documentation for the install.packages() function. When repos is NULL, your first argument is supposed to be a character vector of one or more file paths to the zip files. The second argument is not normally needed. Also, in this case, you should not use destdir. It's a temporary holding place used during the installation process. -Don At 12:33 PM -0800 3/22/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Hello all, > >I'm trying to install the local package under window system.
