Hi Naresh: I’m seeing the same error message. And it makes sense because the boost tar-ball is compressed with xz and not bzip2. On line 87 of install.R, we have the following… if (system(paste("curl", "-sSL", shQuote(u), "|", "tar fxj - -C /")) < 0) Little j means bzip2 while big J is xz. So try substituting… if (system(paste("curl", "-sSL", shQuote(u), "|", "tar fxJ - -C /")) < 0)
