I am trying to install labDSV from http://labdsv.nr.usu.edu/ into R-Windows 1.5.0. It only comes as a TAR file which extracts into folders that seem to match those for other libraries DATA, MAN, R and SRC. I have manually copied these folders into a folder called labDSV under the Library directory under R. However when I load the library I get a message that the library contains no R code. I have tried zipping the contents of the Tar back up and installing use the install package menu command, but that again gives me an error that the library contains no R code. The files in the R folder all have a "q" extension According to the documentation on the web site LabDSV should be downloadable for SPlus and R and instructions talk about R, Splus, windows and unix/linux. Can anyone help me sort out what I am doing wrong?

Graham Smith,
As far as I know, LabDSV is not (yet) released, but can be obtained only
from Dave Roberts's web pages. I think you should try to contact Dave
directly if you have problems (his email address can be found on the
LabDSV home pages). The version of LabDSV I have fails R CMD already
when compiling dynamic libraries.
If you need only some single families of functions, you can put the
needed *.q file in your working directory (is that `folder' in your
lingo?) and issue
source("cca.q")
within your R session. Since most of the support functions (plot,
summary etc.) are together in the same *.q file, this may be sufficient
for you. The documentation is still incomplete, so you may not need to
install all of the package. If you need a more complete set of
functions, you may consider concatenating all *.q files into a single
file called LabDSV and put that where it should be (under LabDSV/R in
library directory in Linux and perhaps something similar in Windows).
As far as I know, Dave Roberts is working with an `official' R release
for CRAN.

Jari,
Many thanks.I am trying to work through the tutorials from the labDSV web
page, that also use your vegan package, that has prompted the question.
I couldn't find Dave Robert's email address on the web pages or I would
have emailed him directly, but I shall look again.
I will also try and use the code directly as you suggest.
At some stage Microsoft decided that directories should be called folders
(or folders called directories, I can't remember, but I think it was when
WIN95 arrived) I now tend to use them interchangeably.
Any way thanks again, I will make a new start on the tutorials and
hopefully my first call to labDSV for "vegtrans" will now work using
source("vegtrans.q")
Cheers,
Graham S
