[R] Install package "ROpenOffice"

[Earl Brown]

Has anyone had trouble installing the package "ROpenOffice" from omegahat:

http://www.omegahat.org/ROpenOffice/

I downloaded the .tar.gz file to my local hard drive and tried to install it with the following code, but got an error message:

> install.packages("/Users/earlbrown/Desktop/ROpenOffice_0.4-0.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")

  installation of package ‘/Users/earlbrown/Desktop/ROpenOffice_0.4-0.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

So, I tried to install the package "Rcompression" first, but got another error message:

> install.packages("Rcompression")
Installing package(s) into ‘/Users/earlbrown/Library/R/2.15/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning message:
package ‘Rcompression’ is not available (for R version 2.15.2)

Any ideas? 

Here's my info:
