1. You need R version >= R-2.12.0 on Windows in order to use a package that is compiled under R >= 2.12.0. 2. winbuilder gave some reports. That may have said if and why your package could not be compiled under 64-bit R for some reason. 3. If you have a 32-bit-only package, you can only load it in it in an 32-bit R instance, not in a 64-bit R.
4. 32-bit R runs fine under 64-bit Windows.

Hi,

I uploaded my package to http://win-builder.r-project.org/ and had it built.

It can work on one machine, but on the other, it reports:

Loading required package: grt
Error: package 'grt' was built for i386-pc-mingw32
In addition: Warning message:
package 'grt' was built under R version 2.12.1
Execution halted

Is it because the package is built for win32? But in the manual it says R
for win32 works good on win64.

Note that the package has some C++ code.

best,

Hi,

I write a package in Linux and ready to distribute, and I can install it

linux and run it.
However, when I have install it in my Windows' R.

I can not 'require' it.

  is.element("grt", installed.packages()[,1])

[1] TRUE

require(grt)

Loading required package: grt
Failed with error:  ‘'grt' is not a valid installed package’

Is there any pitfall between platforms?
And anywhere I could check more detailed error message.


How did you install it in Windows? If you just copied it from the
Linux install directory, or if its in a shared directory, it probably
wont work.

You need to do a proper R CMD INSTALL on Windows, and for that you'll
need the assorted dev tools for building R packages on Windows.


For the record: these days you do not need any extra tools unless the
package contains code that needs compilation, and in the latter case we
provide the win-builder service.

However, the message indicates no file grt/Meta/package.rds, which would be
there if the package was copied from Linux.  So we need to know exactly what
was done.
