Installing SRMStats on R 2.15.1

I had to install the SRMstats software on a cluster running R 2.15.1. SRMstats is a statistical software for targeted mass spectrometry, see http://www.stat.purdue.edu/~chang54/SRMstats/Home.html This was not as easy as I had hoped for since it requires several outdated packages that refuse to run under R 2.15.1 and I had to find the right version of these packages. I finally managed using the following packages:

cd install
wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/Rcpp/Rcpp_0.9.11.tar.gz
wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/RcppEigen/RcppEigen_0.3.0.tar.gz
wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/lme4/lme4_0.999999-0.tar.gz
wget http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/src/contrib/limma_3.20.2.tar.gz
wget http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/src/contrib/marray_1.42.0.tar.gz
wget http://www.stat.purdue.edu/~chang54/SRMstats/R_implementation_files/SRMstats.tar.gz
