[R] issue with graph package in using RBGL -‘'graph' is not a valid installed package’"

[joe j]

Dear all,

I am trying to run the function "lambdaSets" using the package "RBGL".
This package uses another package "graph" which has been removed from
the CRAN repository, but is available at the archive
(http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/graph/).

I installed the package from the R menu at "install packages from
local zip files" (after downloading the "graph_1.30.0.tar.gz" file,
unzipping it and making it a zip file; gz is not recognized by R.). I
get no warning here so I assumed installation went well. However, when
I type "require(RBGL)" I get the error message that: "Failed with
error:  ‘'graph' is not a valid installed package’".

I am using R version 2.12.2 (2011-2-25). I am a new user so your
advice would be of great help.

Best wishes,
Joe
