Hi,
Just tried to install OpenMx and encountered the following error:
> source('http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/getOpenMx.R')
Installing package(s) into ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Error in ret[i, ] <- c(pkgs[i], lib, desc) :
number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length
I have R version 2.13.0 on Ubuntu 10.10 (32 bits)
Thanks for any help in advance.
OpenMx works with R 2.12.0 on

Hi, Thanks for the reply.
Thanks for the reply. This is what I got from traceback():

Installing package(s) into ‘/home/bee/R/i686-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.13’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

7: .readPkgDesc(lib, fields)
6: installed.packages(lib.loc = libpath, fields = c("Package", "Version"))
5: getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib)
4: install.packages(pkgs = c("OpenMx"), repos = repos)
3: eval.with.vis(expr, envir, enclos)
2: eval.with.vis(ei, envir)
1: source("http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/getOpenMx.R")
I can confirm that it works on Ubuntu 11.04 (R version 2.13.0)

Sorry, I didn't respond because I assumed you had upgraded your system. Based on the traceback() message, this looks like a problem in R. Probably some kind of corner case that is not handled correctly in 2.13.0. You can try searching for an existing bug with the same behavior over here: https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/index.cgi. If you don't find one, then submit a new report. Don't forget to include the traceback() output.

Upgraded to R 2.13.1 and
Have been searching for a bit and the closest I found for my problem is this.

But I don't quite understand the issue involved or how to fix it.
Finally I took the drastic step of completely wiping out R and reinstalling it and it worked! I am finally able to install OpenMX.
