R 3.3

[s.v....@gmail.com]

Hi,

Sorry not a very interesting question, but, I am stuck at the moment with R 3.3.3. I work for a large bureaucracy and updating is beyond my power and may take awhile.

Anyway, I find INLA packages will only install for R 3.4.

I tried the older versions in the /stable directory but none of them worked.

Is there an older version somewhere that works on R 3.3 ? Or some hack to work around?

Thanks,

Scott

Dear Scott,

You could try to install INLA from source. This might require some extra tools (on Windows).

if you go to

http://inla.r-inla-download.org/R/

and below, you'll find older packages. the 3.4 series didn't start
before in April (I think)...

let me know if this does not work out.

Thank you Havard for your suggestion. I have gone into the folders that appear to be versions ( 3.4/ , 3.3/ etc ) as far back as they go ( 3.0) and tried the oldest zip there. 

But I still get a message that INLA "is not available for R 3.3.3" when I try to install. 

For this reason I  wondered if there is a "switch" in the code that is inappropriate-- perhaps the 3.0 version doesn't really need 3.4 but something is telling it is does-- in a header or some part of a minor file. I don't know enough about what is really happening during install to know where this might be.

I do see that in this file,

http://inla.r-inla-download.org/R/stable/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/PACKAGES

is stated,

Package: INLA
Version: 0.0-1468872408
Depends: R (>= 2.10), sp, Matrix, splines
Suggests: mvtnorm, numDeriv, Rgraphviz, graph, fields, rgl, parallel,
        pixmap, splancs, orthopolynom, compiler, devtools, knitr,
        markdown, shiny
License: GPL (>= 2)

I am using R Studio (0.99.902) and R 3.3.3 on Windows.

I am required to download the package zip, then upload it to our remote system to install because the remote system has no internet access (or very limited-- can upload/download files and access CRAN mirror sites). So I am downloading the zip locally, and then uploading to a directory on the remote system, and installing. Here is the sequence. I am relatively new to this installing packages "by hand" so maybe I am just making a rookie mistake.

>install.packages("H:/Rpackages/INLA_0.0-1468872408.zip",lib="H:/Rpackages/lib")

 Warning in install.packages : 

   package `H:/Rpackages/INLA_0.0-1468872408.zip' is not available (for R version 3.3.3)

Warning message:

 In dir.create(configdir, recursive=TRUE) :

 '\\[path omitted]\R\connect\accounts' already exists

(I have omitted a long network path in the [path omitted] part. I do not want to put network addresses and usernames here.)

R thinks for a while longer and then returns, but subsequently

library(INLA) 

Error in library(INLA) :  there is no package called 'INLA'

or,

library(INLA, lib.loc="H:/Rpackages/lib")

Error in library(INLA, lib.loc="H:/Rpackages/lib") :  

  there is no package called 'INLA'

And, indeed the H:/Rpackages/lib is empty.

Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott

I think you have to download the file, and then to, manually,

R CMD INSTALL INLA....

You may need to set install.packages(..., repos=NULL) in case it's the automatic detection of a local file name that fails. (And you also need to make sure that R can actually see and read the .zip file with the given path)

Update-- got this to work. It was  that the (...,repos=NULL)  was necessary as suggested by Finn. Adding this to the install.packages successfully installed one of the older packages. (I suspect the error message I received is a bit cryptic and does not truly mean INLA will only work on R 3.4; but rather, that it is not finding the file when trying the local install)

Thank you,

Scott
