Hi R users,
Thanks in advance.
Is it possible to install R on cygwin? If yes, can anyone assist me how can I
install R on cygwin?
Currently, I am using R on Windows XP. I have found that binary version of some
packages such as RCurl is not available.
Once again, thank you very much for the time you have given.
Regards,
Deb

I'm not sure I did anything special to install R for use with cygwin.
Availability of RCurl appears to relate to windohs AFAICT from the CRAN page.
I have never bothered to use this since I already use the related linux
tools available through cygwin. Building from source may have become an issue
lately but I started to use install.packages in an R script invoked
from a bash script running on cygwin and this has worked without incident.
R doesn't know about cygwin so you may need to use things like cygpath if
you
are feeding file names to R etc but this will be an issue with most apps on
'dohs.
