[R-sig-ME] Error when installing the glmmADMB package

[Juan Santos]

Dear members,
I´m restarting a postponed  analysis on fishing data (clustered data); 
Specifically I´m trying to model the numbers of fishes of a given 
species thrown back to sea (discarded) with a set of available 
covariates. One conclusion from the prior EDA on "y" is that I have to 
use a generalization of the poisson distribution (too many zeros). From 
google I´ve got a change of carry out the analysis by using the glmmADMB 
package.

The problem is that I could not successfully download the package from 
r-force. I tried to install it in R.13.1 but It didn´t work neither in 
xp nor in Ubuntu 11.04. In xp this is what occurs:

1.- For the installation I run;

install.packages("glmmADMB", 
repos="http://r-forge.r-project.org",type="source")


2.-R start the download but several errors warnings occur:

* installing *source* package 'glmmADMB' ...
Error in .read_description(dfile) :

local/Temp/RtmpuXoSFi/R.INSTALL3f6b31cd/glmmADMB/DESCRIPTION' does not exist

2: In install.packages("glmmADMB", repos = 
"http://r-forge.r-project.org",  :
   installation of package 'glmmADMB' had non-zero exit status

2.-Although the glmmADMB is available in my library, this error message 
is displayed when loading the package:

+ if(nchar(pkg)) library(pkg, character.only=TRUE)})
Error: package 'glmmADMB' was built before R 2.10.0: please re-install it

My expectation is that 'glmmADMB' should work in R<R2.10.0, so I tried 
it in R.9.0, but it doesn´t work



I would appreciate any suggestions to successfully install the package
