I want to install a package named "locClass" in R but always failed and kept getting the following warning:

install.packages("locClass", repos="http://download.r-forge.r-project.org/")

Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘locClass’
These will not be installed

The install command is referred to: https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=1187

Also, I downloaded the package source from the above website. But R returned the following:

library(locClass)

Error in library(locClass) : ‘locClass’ is not a valid installed package

My R version is 3.3.3. I tried the 3.4.0 but failed the same way.

This is not exactly a solution but an alternative to utilize functionality of package locClass. Download the package file of locClass from here and source(functions.R) present here. This way you can use all functions available in package.

Note : function.R means FLXMCL.R, FLXMCLconstant.R etc.

I'm still looking for a better solution but this is a temporary alternative.
