Dear Chris,
I've asked Thomas to create the appropriate directories on his website
so that the script will work in the future -- thanks for bringing this
to our (collective) attention.
In the meanwhile, you can compile VGAM from scratch (as you attempted
below). You need to have the g77 compiler installed, however, for
this to work. See
(the second
bullet) for how to do this. You might also need to have the Apple
developer tools installed -- I'm not sure for 10.3.9, but some
versions give you the option of not installing the tools when you
first startup.
Hope this helps. Best,
Olivia

Thanks for the quick reply, Thomas. I am
cc'ing olivia on this eamil
No luck. I am still getting the 404 Not Found error when I run either:
o the zelig install
(
source("http://gking.harvard.edu/zelig/install.R")) or
o the VGAM install (install.packages("VGAM",
repos="http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~yee").
Olivia, do you have any ideas (see emails below).
All the best,
Chris Haid
