Duncan I have been trying to work out the solution you gave me but I haven't
really got to sort it out. I tried first the option with install packages
and got this:
> filename <- file.choose()
> filename
[1] "C:\\Users\\Hp\\Documents\\R\\win-library\\2.12\\Rsymphony_0.1-12.tar.gz
> install.packages(filename, type="source", repos=NULL)
Installing package(s) into C:\Users\Hp\Documents/R/win-library/2.12
(as lib is unspecified)
* installing *source* package 'Rsymphony' ...
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'Rsymphony'
* removing 'C:/Users/Hp/Documents/R/win-library/2.12/Rsymphony'

Then about the CMD window I also tried to use it but I cannot get it to
recognize the command for me. It always tells me "R" it is an unrecognized
command. I am new to all this about tar.gz files and running commands
directly in the CMD windowf, so could you please be more specific with me.
Thank you
