Hey all,

I have recently starting using R, so I'm still on the steep-learning curve
of the program.  I have been unable to install Diveristy.R from Dr.
Pelissier's website (http://pelissier.free.fr/Diversity.html).  I have
downloaded the libraries "ade4" and "spdep" (along with all the other
packages needed to run spdep).  I'm running R version 2.9.1 on a MAC OS X
version 10.5.8.  When I click on "Package source (all platforms):
diversity_1.5-9.tar.gz<http://pelissier.free.fr/diversity/R-2.8.1/diversity_1.5-9.tar.gz>"
from the website, a folder labeled "diversity" is downloaded onto my
desktop.  One question I have is where the package/folder/library should be
downloaded.   My other question is how to install it.  I've tried to Package
Installer-Local Binary Package and Local Source Package at the user level
without success.  I also just downloaded the tar.gz file directly to my
desktop and then use the Package Installer, but again without success.  I
tried the install.packages command, but I don't know if I'm using it
correctly.  The solution is probably simple, but with my limited experience
with writing code and programming, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Any help will be appreciated!!  Many thanks in advance!!!

Cheers,
Leigh
