Using SPSS21 + R2.14.2. Essentials plug-in working fine (based on your readme text instructions).
Download PSMATCHING3.spe (and it gets changed to PSMATCHING3.zip so I rename it back to a .spe).
Start SPSS as admin to install the extension bundle and it gives me the following message (after about 10 minutes of trying to do something)...
"Failed to install the following R packages" and lists lme4, RItools and cem.
I tried to install the packages manually. I don't know R but used this code I found in another forum...
install.packages("lme4", repos = "http://cran.ms.unimelb.edu.au/", type="source")
Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.ms.unimelb.edu.au/src/contrib
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
package ‘lme4’ is not available (for R version 2.14.2)
I get the same message trying to install RItools or cem (and my machine churns for about 5 minutes before the error message appears). And i get the same result if I try using our other Australian mirror site (http://cran.csiro.au/).
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Andrew
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Sorry for the late response Andrew - bit of an unusual error message.
Are you able to install ANY R packages? I know that there are some
issues with different version of the cem package, but I was not aware
that lme4 has issues too.
Could it be an issue of running R or SPSS with admin rights? The fact
that not a single R package gets installed is peculiar.
Sorry that I can't be of much help here,
