instaling texreg package in R

Question

I tried to install the texreg package in R and am getting the following error:

> install.packages("texreg", "~/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/2.13/")

Error in is(signature, "list") : could not find function "className"

Is this a problem with my R installation? I am running 2.13 and am unfortunately unable to upgrade because I'm on a cluster.

Answer 1

className was introduced in R-2.14.0. I suggest trying one of the previous versions of texreg.

Changes in version 2.14.0:

BUG FIXES

    o   In principle, S4 classes from different packages could have the same
         name.  This has not previously worked.  Changes have now been
         installed that should allow such classes and permit methods to use
         them.  New functions className() and multipleClasses() are related
         tools for programming.
