R help - Oct 2007 - Trouble with R CMD INSTALL

Why does R CMD INSTALL work for some packages (e.g., lme4) but not  
others (e.g., nlme)?

Thanks,
Gang

If you don't provide any code or error message, I doubt anyone on this
list will be willing to be of help.

Hi Liviu,

Thank you very much for the response! I knew that would work within  
R, but was just wondering why

 > R CMD INSTALL nlme

does not work on the shell terminal. Any clue?

Thanks,
Gang

Just what the message said:  on your system, nlme is not a valid 
package.  However you created it, something got messed up.
