Most likely you have a corrupted tarball, so I would compare its size
with that on the CRAN master (which to me looks like 680366 bytes).
Note though that you need to get XML to work on Windows
- to get appropriate versions of libxml2 and its dependencies iconv
and zlib.
- to make changes to the XML source tarball.
So why not just use the binary provided on CRANextras? (The changed
sources used there are at
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/GPLcompliance/XML_2.6-0.tar.gz, but
you will need libxml2 etc as well.)

Hi R users,
Im trying to install XML source package (in window platform) using the
following command.
*install.packages(pkgs = "C:\\Documents and
Settings\\skang\\Desktop\\Softwares\\R\\Library\\XML_2.6-0.tar.gz", repos =
NULL, type = "source")*
and get the following result.
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
/cygdrive/c/Rtools/bin/tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
/cygdrive/c/Rtools/bin/tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
/cygdrive/c/Rtools/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

exit status
I have installed Rtools from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ and
have added 'Rtools\bin' to the environment variables path.
Am I missing something?
