M.Ribeiro, You can install on Windows from the tar.gz using the RTools. You need to set the PATH to find RTools and it looks like you skipped that step. Full details are in the R Extensions manual.
Here are my notes, from several years ago as you can see by the R-2.8.0 paths and the Rtools29.exe set of tools, for running from the MSDOS CMD window. Change all R-2.8.0 statements to the current version. Change the cd statement to the directory containing the .tar.gz file. Rich Download from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ Rtools29.exe and install into default locations. In an MS-DOS Commands Window --- cmd in the Start > Run window PATH=c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\perl\bin;c:\Rtools\MinGW\bin;c:\texmf\miktex\bin;c:\progra~1\RExcel\R-2.8.0\bin;c:\windows;c:\windows\system32 rem ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ rem use correct 8.3 path for the R version that you are using. c:\ cd C:\mydirectory rem MyPackage\ is a directory in the above directory R CMD CHECK --no-examples --no-latex MyPackage ## detailed checks---faster R CMD CHECK MyPackage ## detailed checks R CMD INSTALL --build MyPackage ## installs and builds .zip rem this gives the official canonical form that will eventually be sent to CRAN rem R CMD BUILD MyPackage ## tar.gz rem problems appear in this file: C:\mydirectory\MyPackage.Rcheck\00install.out relevant documents are in C:\Program Files\RExcel\R-2.8.0\doc\manual\R-admin.html C:\Program Files\RExcel\R-2.8.0\doc\manual\R-exts.html [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
