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)
