Dear R users,
With package.skeleton() i have produced successfully my .Rd??s, ...
Now i will run Rcmd check on ..\R\bin\
But Rcmd check (and build) on my Windows XP does not work.
It`s a problem with "perl".
(Translated i get the message:
The instruction Perl is either wrongly written or could not not be found.)
In help("check") I found this:
"These may not work correctly under Windows 95/98/ME because of
problems Perl has launching programs on those limited OSes."
And in the R-devel I found following from Prof. Brian Ripley:
"2) On Windows, we did hope to make Rcmd check the standard way.
Unfortunately, a whole series Perl builds were broken, so make
pkgcheck-foo is still preferred."
But i can not find something like "pkgcheck" and Rcmd does not work.
(I use R version 1.9.0 on Windows XP, IBM Computer)
Can anybody help me please?
Regards,
Matthias
Hi! How about installing perl from e.g. activestate? or if installed adding the path to perl.exe to you %PATH% variable?

Please read ..../src/gnuwin32/readme.packages and follow the instructions therein exactly. In particular: Do you have perl installed?
