Installation not allowed

[Ignazio Piras]

Hi, this is the message error when I try to install the package from the zip file or from CRAN. Thank you for the help I.

install.packages("bio3d_2.1-3.zip",repos=NULL) Installing package into ‘\fileservernas/usr_docs$/I.Piras/R/win-library/3.1’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified) Warning in install.packages : write error in extracting from zip file Warning in install.packages : cannot open compressed file 'bio3d/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory' Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection

I am not a knowledgeable windows person unfortunately so its likely that others will respond with more helpful suggestions.

I was just wondering if issuing the command below (to install directly from CRAN) would work for you.

install.packages("bio3d")

Nope, I retrieved the same error. Thanks.

Hi,

I've tested on my Windows box and there is no problem to install bio3d from CRAN. I am using R x64 3.2.0. Could you provide more information about the R version you are using? Also, I noticed that the installing path you've shown above contains some special symbols such as '$' and '\'. I am not sure this could be the reason causing your problem but could you please try to install on another path by specifying lib= option? The path should contain no space and be separated by "/" instead of "\".

Let me know if you still have the same problem.

Problem solved. I was only out of memory...in fact after this trouble I experienced other errors with excel. Sorry if I bothered you for such silly issue. Thank you for the assistance
