I received by email an R package (file.tar.gz) that was created in Linux.
The package was already installed in another computer in linux using

I am not familiar with installing packages but I would like to install it on
Windows
I downloaded the Rtools29.exe and tryed to install using
install.packages("foo.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source")
but the message was
Warning in install.packages("GR_1.0.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
:
argument 'lib' is missing: using 'C:\Documents and Settings\mr\My
Documents/R/win-library/2.9'
That's a funny name to use for the library for R 2.10.x, but it's not a
serious error.
'sh' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
That's the one that stopped the install. Apparently the Rtools bin
directory is not being found by Windows in your PATH. The Rtools
installer can put it there; maybe you should just reinstall Rtools and
choose that option.
Warning message:
In install.packages("GR_1.0.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source") :
installation of package 'GR_1.0.tar.gz' had non-zero exit status
my questios are:
Where shall I save the .tar.gz file??
That doesn't matter, as long as it's a readable directory.
Do I need to do anything else with the Rtools besides installing
(C:/Rtools)??
Set the Windows PATH variable.
Is the problem with the way I did or with the package??
So far it looks like the Rtools install.

Thanks a lot
