A co-worked built a model using both an older version of R (3.1.3) and an older version of randomForestSRC (1.6.0). I have R version 3.2.1 and randomForestSRC version 1.6.1. I was able to install an older version of the randomForestSRC package using the function InstallOldPackage from the repmis package using R 3.2.1. However, it turns out I need to use the old version (3.1.3) to be able to work on this project. Unfortunately, after switching to 3.1.3 I am having trouble actually installing the older version of the randomForestSRC package.
Here is the system info:

This is where I run into the error (I apologize for the large block of text):
