Rtools is not available for the current version of R. What I'm looking for is an alternative package or how others have managed to create workarounds. On Thu, Nov 2, 2017 at 4:25 PM, David Winsemius wrote: > > > On Nov 2, 2017, at 1:09 PM, Tiby Kantrowitz wrote: > > > > Yes, that is exactly wh

Yes, that is exactly what I was doing two days ago. Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘fAsianOptions_3010.79.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status Which is what a reading of the explanation for why "prob" was retired leads one to expect. Do you have some other suggestion about ho

Yes. That's the version I've been discussing that has non-zero exit status. That situation is why CRAN retired the prob package. It's possible you installed that library earlier in development and it's been "carried" along. It no longer installs, now. The problems with all of this seem to have sta
