[R] Issue with installing BRugs

[Uwe Ligges]

First for general info: Although I am listed as maintainer I am not 
maintaining this version currently. Thanks to the developers who offer 
this version and work on it. We will try to get a version on CRAN soon.

For your specific question:


Download the file and rename it to
BRugs_0.6-1.zip.
Then try again. R expects to get packages in the way they were created 
by R CMD INSTALL --build, not with a changed filename which happened to 
this version (with the added R12).

Best wishes,
Uwe Ligges
