Good morning,

I have just downloaded from the repository rcom 3.1-5 which is supposed to be compatible with R 3.4. However, as I load the library, I get the error

Error: package ‘rcom’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it

Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks,

Larry

Please let us know, which repository you were using (the full command line for installing the package would be great).

Best regards.

Sure, here it is

install.packages(c("rscproxy","rcom"),repos="http://www.autstat.com/download",
lib=.Library,type="win.binary")

after which I get

Thanks,

p.s.

I'll be off for about a week, so no rush at all in taking a look at this...

Sorry, you did not install into the global library directory. The command line you posted does not match the paths where rcom and rscproxy are installed. Maybe you did not run R as Administrator.

Please read http://autstat.com/index.php/Support/topic/3.html

For further support, please post to the appropriate support forum in "Diagnosing and Solving Installation Problems"

Best regards,
