<p class="MsoNormal">Today, however, when I tried to install seqdist2 for the copy of R that is on a Windows 2012 R2 Terminal Server, the results suggested that the binary copy of seqdist2 at
<a href="http://R-Forge.R-project.org">http://R-Forge.R-project.org</a> is older than the source version (see code below). I find this message surprising because it did not appear when I installed seqdist2 on my desktop.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Eager to have the newer version of seqdist2, I tried to install from the source file (seqdist2_0.9-1.tar.gz). Unfortunately, this failed because the version of R installed on the server is too old (see code below).

<p class="MsoNormal">I have asked my server administrators to update to a newer version of R, but I don’t know how long that might take. Is there a way to use seqdist2 with R version 3.1.3? Perhaps using this older version of R is the explanation for both
problems I encountered?<o:p></o:p></p>
