Should probably be: R CMD INSTALL RInside_0.2.3.tar.gz But are we misleading the OP a little bit about what RInside can help him do?

There is not any developed way to compile R code to machine code, an executable or a library that can be distributed to a computer that does not have a copy of R installed. R does include a library with various names such as R.a, libR.so and R.dll that contains the R interpreter and support functions which could be used to distribute a stand alone executable that can run R code without the R distribution being installed. However the sticking point is packages; the OP is likely trying to embed R in order to gain access to one, or several, R packages. As far as I know, there is no developed way to compile an R package down such that it could be distributed, perhaps along with R.dll, and stand by its self. It is theoretically possible, but there is no turnkey solution. So, unless I am gravely mistaken, RInside is just a nice cross-platform replacement for the RDCOM interface. It won't solve the problem of needing R installed on the client's computer in order to fully use the R environment which is dependent on packages. -Charlie ----- Charlie Sharpsteen Undergraduate-- Environmental Resources Engineering Humboldt State University -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/C-or-Java-code-generation-tp2330875p2332606.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
