I get this error when I try to install it:
Error in gzfile(file, "r") : unable to open connection
In addition: Warning message:
cannot open compressed file 'Zelig/DESCRIPTION'
Does this happen to anyone else?
Dear Students,
Welcome to Gov 2001, Gov1002 or E-2001! A couple of announcements:
1. Section will take place on Thursdays 5-6 (CGIS S450) and 6-7 (CGIS N354).
Both sections will be identical. To avoid crowding (S450 is a small room) we
would like to ask students with surnames starting in letters A-M to attend
the first, and letters N-Z to attend the second lecture if possible.
Obviously, if your schedule allows only one of the two slots you should
ignore this assignment. Sections are also videotaped and you can access them
online at the course website.
2. This Thursday in section we will have an introduction to R. We will cover
the very basics of R, so for those of you who know R (eg. from Gov 2000)
there is no need to attend. If you have never used R before you should try
to familiarize yourself with the program ahead of section. The R resources
are listed on the syllabus and the class website also includes many links to
R
tutorials, manuals, installation instructions, etc. that will get you
started. We strongly encourage you to take a look at these.
3. The course website is located at:
http://isites.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k28616. We will run the class
through this website only (so we won't use the websites from Gov1002 or
E-2001). We will primarily use the class website to post assignments,
section material, and some of the readings. The syllabus, detailed lecture
notes, and other course materials are available at:
http://GKing.Harvard.Edu/class.shtml <http://gking.harvard.edu/class.shtml>
4. We will send out instructions for the problem sets later.
Thanks,
Jen[n,s]
