[R] Installing the Zoo Library.

[Rnoobie]

Hi Ya'll 

I'm trying to install the zoo library... I've downloaded about 5 or 6 of
their releases (inc. the latest one), all of them giving me the same syntax
error when trying to install... 

Anyone seen this problem before? its not the "lib" argument that is the
problem (ive been installing other packages using this exact format with no
problem... just zoo is the problem.



> install.packages("zoo_1.5-8.tar.gz", repos = NULL );
