After issuing tar xvfz RgoogleDocs_0.2.2-src.tar.gzI am getting an error message 'tar' is not recongnized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Should I use my 7-zip to open up the archive? Where should I be doing this? For instance can I do it all in my download directory or should I do it in C:\Program Files\R\R-2.9.0\library or should I manually create C:\Program Files\R\R-2.9.0\library\RGoogleDocs and do it all there or will the Rcmd INSTALL RGoogleDocs_0.2-2.tar.gz command do that for me. Yes, you assumed correctly. I am using Windows XP.
