Installation error

[widdowquinn]

After installing dependencies, command-line installation fails on OSX High Sierra with the .zip file Sourceforge provides:

$ R CMD INSTALL poRe_0.24.zip 
Error in rawToChar(block[seq_len(ns)]) : 
  embedded nul in string: 'PK\003\004\n\0\0\0\0\0\xa8M\xa2J\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\005\0\034\0poRe/UT\t\0\003\033G\bY\x89H\bYux\v\0\001\004\xe7)\t\0\004ő\030\0PK\003\004\n\0\0\0\0\0\xa7M\xa2J\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\a\0\034\0poRe/R/'

This is fixable (with a warning) by uncompressing, and creating a .tar.gz file from the result:

$ unzip poRe_0.24.zip
$ R CMD INSTALL poRe_0.24.tar.gz 
Warning in strptime(xx, f <- "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%OS", tz = tz) :
