I don't know the problem per se, but I can say this. In the past, I used the Rossi example and wasn't able to build an R package for Windows. I also explored other resources on the web and came to a similar halt.
The only solution for me was to read the R manual and follow the Murdoch instructions on his web site (link below). I think staying with the canonical guides for this is the only way to get a build done properly. http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Xiaohui Wang > Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2008 11:22 AM > To: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: [R] Problem when building a test R package on PC > > > I followed the instruction of building R package on PC by > Peter Rossi.
