I'm running R 3.4.2 and R Studio 1.0.153. I want to install the prob package in R. The prob package in an archived file. It is located here. I am trying to install the prob_1.0-0.tar.gz package. I have no problem downloading and opening the package archive file. The code is below, it seems I need to install the fAsianOptions package.

ERROR: dependency 'fAsianOptions' is not available for package 'prob' * removing 'C:/Users/blake_000/Documents/R/win-library/3.4/prob' Warning in install.packages : running command '"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-34~1.2/bin/x64/R" CMD INSTALL -l "C:\Users\blake_000\Documents\R\win-library\3.4" "C:/Users/BLAKE_~1/GOOGLE~1/Life/CSUEB/FALL20~1/6204-P~1/RCODE~1/prob_1.0-0.tar.gz"' had status 1 Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘C:/Users/BLAKE_~1/GOOGLE~1/Life/CSUEB/FALL20~1/6204-P~1/RCODE~1/prob_1.0-0.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

Unfortunately, the fAsianOptions package is also archived. It is located here and I downloaded version fAsianOptions_3010.79.tar.gz. There were a number of dependencies but I installed the required packages (timeDate, timeSeries, etc.)

However, the fAsianOptions package is not installing. The error code reads as follows:

I'm hoping that someone can help me to install the fAsianOptions dependency so I can install the prob package. Or, if there's an easier way, please let me know!

Packages are removed from CRAN precisely for the reason that they no longer work with current versions of R. You should probably seek an alternative to the prob package. You use packages deleted from CRAN at your own risk. What is it exactly that you think you need the prob package for? Maybe that would be a better question to ask.MrFlick

I had the same problem. I solved it by installing lower version of R -2.9. prob is available in repository for this version.
