Dear All, I'm a real beginner in R(a windows version) and I'm trying to install the principal curves packages(from http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES.html#princurve ) by using the following comand: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- shell("Rcmd INSTALL d:/bin/cran/princurve"). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- but I got lost with the message: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- " make: Entering directory `/d/bin/cran/rw1022/src/gnuwin32' make DLLNM= EXTRADOCS= \ -C d:/bin/cran/princurve PKG=princurve RHOME=D:/bin/cran/rw1022 RLIB=D:/bin/cran/rw1022/library \ -f D:/bin/cran/rw1022/src/gnuwin32/MakePkg make[1]: Entering directory `/d/bin/cran/princurve' ---------- Making package princurve ------------ mkdir -p D:/bin/cran/rw1022/library/princurve cp -r ./DESCRIPTION ./INDEX ./TITLE ./ChangeLog ./README D:/bin/cran/rw1022/library/princurve/ adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing R files making DLL make[2]: Entering directory `/d/bin/cran/princurve/src' make[3]: `libR.a' is up to date. windres --include-dir D:/bin/cran/rw1022/src/include -i princurve_res.rc -o princurve_res.o princurve_res.rc:1: windows.h: No such file or directory windres: princurve_res.rc:8: syntax error make[2]: *** [princurve_res.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/d/bin/cran/princurve/src' make[1]: *** [src/princurve.dll] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/d/bin/cran/princurve' make: *** [pkg-princurve] Error 2 make: Leaving directory `/d/bin/cran/rw1022/src/gnuwin32' *** Installation of princurve failed *** " ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did I miss some important point in the "Rcmd" comand?
