I suspect one possible reason is that while I unzip the file .tar.gz, it 
destroys the structure between files as the manual indicated. But there seems 
no unix-like environment. I tried the cmd command, but it does not recognize 
tar command. Section 6.3 of the manual said that install.packages can install a 
source package from a local '.tar.gz' file by setting argument repos to NULL. 
But the manual did not tell me where to put this .tar.gz file in the first 
place. How do R find this file?
 
Another idea is that I saw four .R files under the folder of R in the zip file. 
I suspect all necessary functions is defined in these four .R documents. So I 
ran them and tried a mini example of applying the function
---------------------------------------------------------------------
cvec <- c(1,2,3)
Amat <- matrix(c(-1,1,1,-1,3,-1),byrow=TRUE,nc=3)
bvec <- c(20,-30)
ub <- c(40,Inf,Inf)
res <- Rcplex(cvec,Amat,bvec,ub=ub,objsense="max",sense=c('L','G'))
print(res)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This gives me the error message of 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Error in .Call("Rcplex", as.integer(numcols), as.integer(numrows), 
as.integer(objsensei),  : 
  C symbol name "Rcplex" not in load table
Error in .C("Rcplex_free") : 
  C symbol name "Rcplex_free" not in load table

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have been asked alreeady to read the R Installation and 
Administration manual.
