Hi Uwe

I tried 
install.packages("marginalmodelplots", dependencies=TRUE, contriburl="/home/bioadm/install/R_packages/test")

But I got always the same error

install.packages("marginalmodelplots", dependencies=TRUE, contriburl="/home/bioadm/install/R_packages/test/")
Warning: unable to access index for repository /home/bioadm/install/R_packages/test/
Warning message:
package âmarginalmodelplotsâ is not available (for R version 2.15.0)


below, I paste the content of my PACKAGES file 

Package: locfit
Version: 1.5-7
Depends: R (>= 2.0.1)
Imports: akima, lattice
Suggests: gam
License: GPL (>= 2)
MD5sum: 6c90e03f93305789b74c7fc6a56ebdc1

Package: marginalmodelplots

install.packages("marginalmodelplots", dependencies=TRUE,
contriburl="/home/bioadm/install/R_packages/test")

seems to be the documented way you want to try.
