I saw a thread from September 24 in which Duncan Temple Lang told us: - The package currently has no Rd files, but there is a brief "user's guide". The package is available from http://www.omegahat.org/RGoogleDocsI could not find it by using Tinn-R or RGui's package install tool. Then when I went to the website I saw that package is only available as http://www.omegahat.org/RGoogleDocs/RGoogleDocs_0.1-0.tar.gz To my knowledge tar.gz is only for Linux. Does this mean that I cannot run it on a windows machine. Please tell me that there is a way to run it on a Windows machine.
Yes, you can install source packages on Windows: the R-admin manual gives you a detailed guide to the tools that you will need to do so. It even tells you about an automated package building service you could try. RGoogleDocs depends on RCurl and XML, both of which I provide Windows binaries for (and are much trickier to install because of their external software requirements).
