Hi, I'm trying to build the termstrc 1.1 package from its source on R 2.7.2 on Windows XP. However instead of building the package it just zips the entire source into a .tar.gz file. This is the first time I'm trying to build an R package from source. I installed the R toolset for Windows and set RTools as well as Perl & MinGW directories in the path. Anybody tried this out? Any file missing in the source? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Chirantan ____________________________________ Visit us at http://www.2pirad.com [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I suspect you need to study the difference between R CMD build R CMD INSTALL R CMD check R CMD build --binary -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard ?ster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph. K (*) \(*) -- University of Copenhagen Denmark Ph: (+45) 35327918 ~~~~~~~~~~ - (p.dalgaard at biostat.ku.dk) FAX: (+45) 35327907
I guess you asked R to:
R CMD build ...
which builds the source package, but you need
R CMD INSTALL ...
in order to install the package or
R CMD INSTALL --build ...
in order to install *and* build a binary package. See the manual R
Installation and Administration.
