If the authors don't maintain zinba and port it to the newest R, your only 
option is to install R 2.15.0. You should be able to compile it and run it 
side-by-side with your newest R.

I installed multicore in 2.15.0 with no problems.

Please use the attached version. This uses doParallel for multicore processing 
instead of the multicore package.  

install.packages(c("R.utils", "quantreg","doParallel","doMC","foreach"))

Hi!
Maybe it would be worth adding this version (2.03.1) to the list of releases?
It would make it easier for people to immediately find and download the right 
version (R versions >3.0 are very common nowadays).

Best,
André
