No.  Why would you want to install a package with errors?

If you mean that

R CMD INSTALL pkg1 pkg2 pkg3

stops when installation of pkg1 fails and you still want to install 
pkg2 and pkg3, use a shell loop instead.

In any case, please read the footer of this message and next time 
given an example of what happened and what you wanted to happen.
