[R] install local packages

[Aleš Žiberna]

1.: Did you try to extract the zip file manually? It seem that something 
is wrong with the zip file, not the procedure. Try downloading 
(compiling) it again.

2.: You should not use "\" in your paths, you should either "\\" of "/" 
instead.

Best,
Ales Ziberna
