Hi!
The wisp package doesnât contain source code that has to be complied
for a specific platform. There is no src directory in the package.
It just consist of native R code. Installation in this case is
straight forward.
Unzip the file on the desktop and invoke the following line in terminal:
R CMD INSTALL ~/Desktop/wisp/ -l ~/Library/R/2.8/library
the -l flag specifies your user library. Note, installing in a user
directory is the recommend way. Otherwise the package is installed
into /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library, the default
library path.

Worked for me as well. To find your library directory, just open R and
type ".libPaths()". For me, it's
.libPaths()
[1] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library"
As Kjell noted, I just unzipped the binary in the latter directory.
Then library(wisp) worked just fine.

I think installing a Windows binary package on Mac (or any other

system) is probably not officially supported - so the package
manager is not
going to be too helpful here. In this case you're lucky though -
WiSP does
not contain any native code. All you need to do is unpack the
wisp_1.2.6.zip archive (which OS X is apparently doing for you
already) and
put the wisp folder in your R library using the Finder. Worked for me
anyway. Also, you should probably email the package authors and
ask them to
provide a source version of the package as well.

Hello all,
I apologize in advance if this question has already been asked
but I have
not been able to find any helpful piece of information on the web
regarding
my problem.
I need to run a package for wildlife population assessment called
WiSP.
The package is available for download from the web and comes in
a .zip
format.
Not only does the archive automatically unzips itself after the
download
but
I can't seem to grasp how to install such packages using the package
manager.
I am usually fairly good with computers, but have to admit that I
don't
understand all the options offered by the package manager.
From what I have read online, it seems that I need to convert this
windows
binary package to a universal .tar.gz file, yet all the
documentation I
found is too complicated for me.
Could anyone explain to me what the simplest way of doing that is
or give
me
some hints on how to go about solving this issue ?
Thanks so much in advance for you help,
Phil
