[R] RQuantLib

[rsherry8]

Based upon comments I received on the R-Help list, I ran the following 
commands and got the following output:

 >  drat::addRepo("ghrr")
 >  install.packages("RQuantLib", type="binary")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/rsher/Documents/R/win-library/3.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

The downloaded binary packages are in
C:\Users\rsher\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmp0OoZCW\downloaded_packages

This time, I used the mirror in Europe rather than a mirror in the 
United States and it worked. I am wondering if that matters. I want to 
thank everybody for their help.
