Dear Sir,

Thanks a lot. The "1 in  'RQuantLib_0.3.10(1)", I understand was appearing because I had saved RQuantLib number of times in my local directory and each time it renamed the installation file with no added to it. 

Thanks again. Now I am able to install the package along-with Rcpp.

Regards

Katherine

What is the name of the file you downloaded?   I am guessing it did not 
arrive with the name on the archive.

You seem to be using Windows without saying so.  The file for Windows is 
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/r-release/RQuantLib_0.3.10.zip

without (1) in the name.
