*www.Rmetrics.org Rmetrics - new Built 190.10053 *The new built has now implemented my 'timeDate' and 'timeSeries' classes which became part of the fBasics package. Furthermore, MS Windows specifics were removed from the packages, so we can try to build Rmetrics on Linux and on Mac OSX. Please send me your experiences. There is now a small new package named winRmetrics which holds the MS Windows specific part for those who prefer the Windows Rmetrics Port. The user guides and reference guides are not yet updated. What are the next steps? Maybe somebody is around and can try to build the packages for (Debian) Linux and Mac OSX. This would be a great help for me! The *.tar.gz files are availalble on http://www.itp.phys.ethz.ch/econophysics/R/bin/windows/contrib/1.9/Sources/ If the Linux and Mac OSX builds are successfully done, I will submit the packages to the CRAN server.

I would guesstimate that they should build trivially on OSX as well, but i'm at home today [in the US, today is Memorial day - a sort of low-key holiday when people tend to have picnics and things] and have no intention of driving to campus... maybe you can sucker Dirk into packaging them for Debian and getting them into the system there? :) --elijah
