Hello,

After downloading imview from SourceForge.net <http://sourceforge.net/projects/imview/?source=directory>, 
I get the following error and warning when trying to install this package:

> install.packages("~/Downloads/imview-src-1.0.1.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
Error: error reading file '/var/folders/57/76qlq1g9607g8nm3pv7txydw0000gp/T//Rtmp9Xr791/R.INSTALL4b47344defc/imview-1.0.1/DESCRIPTION'
Warning in install.packages :
  installation of package ‘/Users/wmorgan/Downloads/imview-src-1.0.1.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

Thanks,
Bill

P.S. I’m using R Studio, on a Mac Airbook with OS 10.10.4.
