What you may need is to compile this package from source. It is explained
in one of the R manuals (I can't remember which one though).
You can also look at my "R Guide for Windows Users" at
http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~kwan022/rinfo.php (Section 5).
I'm not sure the exact contents in the labdsv_0.9-1.tar.gz , but in general
you can first unpack it with, e.g.:
tar zxvf labdsv_0.9-1.tar.gz
then you may need:
Rcmd labdsv_0.9-1
Hope this helps,
Kevin

Subject: [R] basic question
Dear R users,
Up to now, I only used precompiled packages. As I am working on vegetation
ecology, I would be interested in using a package not stored by CRAN called
labdsv_0.9-1.tar.gz and developped by Dave Roberts at the National Center
for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (unfortunately I did not find any
corresponding .zip file).
Although I tried to follow the proposed guidelines to install such a file
in R, I did not succeed. I installed the library tools, the Perl and the
MinGW softwares, but I feel all this stuff is useless in my case (my
knowledge in informatic in so poor that I am reduced to "intuitions"!)
I know this is probably one of the most FAQ, but I did not find the answer
to my problem on the R-CRAN web site. Thank you in advance!
Have a good day.
