Dear Uwe Ligges,

Sir, I am extremely sorry for not mentioning about the windows environment. I am new to R and trying to learn R besides having to attend my regular commitments.  Thanks a lot for your guidance again Sir.

Regards

Julia

I guess you are talking about Windows? Of so: There is no binary for such an old R version available.

Of course, you can compile from sources, given the package does not actually depend on a newer version of R (which is not declared but not that unlikely given the package did not even exist at the time  R-2.6.0 was recent).

See the manual "R Installation and Administration" as well as the FAQs.

Best,
Uwe Ligges
