Just fix the quotes in the sources, I think. (In case you've only
installed with the automated tools before: Fetch the tar file, unpack
it with tar xfz GLMMGibbs_0.5-1.tar.gz, fix the relevant .c file and
finally: R CMD INSTALL GLMMGibbs)


The way to modify the sources seems to be as follows:

    of each line or add \n at the end of each adjacent string literal.
