Tseries package installation fails

I am trying to install the tseries package on R. I get this output:

How to install this package?

tseries depends on the quadprog package. You did not have the package installed, and it was not available on the CRAN mirror that you used for the version of R that you are using (non-stationary). Therefore, tseries could not be installed.

You need to install quadprog for your version of R. It may not be available if you are using several versions beyond the current one; quadprog depends on R> = 2.12.0 .

[By the way, these things are R-packages, not libraries.]

I ran into the same problem and then solved it as follows.

Using the terminal in Ubuntu, I typed the following commands:

 wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/quadprog_1.5-4.tar.gz sudo R CMD INSTALL quadprog_1.5-4.tar.gz wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/tseries_0.10-30.tar.gz sudo R CMD INSTALL tseries_0.10-30.tar.gz

After that, I was able to start an R session, download the tseries package and successfully use its functions.

You might want to install different versions of the quadprog and tseries packages. If this happens, please change the URL links above.
