[R] Unable to install gsynth without life package

[Ebert,Timothy Aaron]

You could play with install.versions() from the versions package. https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/versions/README.html

I would try installing versions of both packages from the last time you got them to work together.

Either:

1) Convince the Gsynth package maintainer to resolve the problem for you, or

2) start hacking on the source code of either lfe or Gsynth until they both install and work together.

It is not as though the members of this list have a magic wand that can fix the problems of many thousands of _contributed_ packages.

Out of all the dependency packages lfe is removed from CRAN I believe. Therefore, I'm unable to install gsynth. I've looked for the solution on google but nothing helped so far.
