Interesting. For me, the install bombed with the lattice package (error highlighted below):

Can you please show the full install log as well as the output of session Info () ?

What you posted on stackoverflow and what you write do not match, I can only guess that installation fails but you give us more details we can help.

Hi Gary,

Thank you—I had tried that prior to posting, and was getting an error message that I posted to Stack Overflow:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64672623/coarsened-exact-matching-cem-in-r-package-not-loading

 

It seems like the package “tcltk” isn’t behaving as expected?

 

“Error: package ‘tcltk’ could not be loaded

Execution halted”

 

Sorry to both you with this! I really appreciate the help!

Sorry about that!  R changes over time and you have to keep up!  We've made the necessary changes and they're just verifying (all are really tiny changes).  But if you want to install the new version, you can still do it, straight from our github repository.  I put info about how to do this at GaryKing.org/CEM

Thanks for your patience!

Gary

Thank you Holly for asking this question. What transpired such that the package was removed? And, to your question, when will the package return?

 

Thank you.

Hi,

I wondered if anyone knew when CEM might return to CRAN for R?

Thanks!
