Hello,

I have been attempting to install OpenMx this week and have been getting the following error suggesting that the file cannot be downloaded:


source('http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/getOpenMx.R')
Warning in install.packages(pkgs = c("OpenMx"), repos = repos) :
argument 'lib' is missing: using 'C:\Users\Name\Documents/R/win-library/2.10'
trying URL 'http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/packages/bin/windows/contrib/2.10/OpenMx_1.3.2-2301.zip'
Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :
cannot open URL 'http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/packages/bin/windows/contrib/2.10/OpenMx_1.3.2-2301.zip'
In addition: Warning message:
In download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :
cannot open: HTTP status was '404 Not Found'
Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available = available, :
download of package 'OpenMx' failed

I checked to make sure that I have a compatible version of R prior to the install attempt. Below is the output of R.Version():

$platform

$arch
[1] "i386"

$os

$year

$`svn rev`

$language

$version.string

Is there another location for getOpenMx.R that I might try? If you could please let me know what the best course of action is at your convenience, I would appreciate it. Thank you!

Try upgrading your version of R to 2.15.2 (NOT 3... that's not supported in OpenMx until later this year)
