Greetings:
I've installed Rtools, MikTeX, perl, minGW, and HTML Help Workshop, and have
succeeded in making, checking (using R CMD check mypkg) then building the
simple example
package.skeleton(list=c("f","g","d","e"),
name="mypkg") R
CMD build mypkg produces a tarball. I don't know how to get a zip file.
But when I try to Install package(s) from local zip files, I get this error
message:
Error in gzfile(file, "r") : unable to open connection
In addition: Warning messages:
1: error -1 in extracting from zip file
2: cannot open compressed file 'mypkg/DESCRIPTION'
But when I click on that file in the tarball it opens and shows me what I
expected.
I had hoped that I had weathered the hard part - building the package - but
I still need some help:
1) How do I get a zipped file, rather than a tarball,
2) How do I install what I've built?
Thanks in advance.

How do you build your packages? have you tried R CMD build --binary mypkg b On Nov 16, 2006, at 12:32 AM, Charles Annis, P.E. wrote:> Greetings: > > I've installed Rtools, MikTeX, perl, minGW, and HTML Help Workshop, > and have > succeeded in making, checking (using R CMD check mypkg) then > building the > simple example package.skeleton(list=c("f","g","d","e"), > name="mypkg") R > CMD build mypkg produces a tarball.

This appears to be about Windows, unstated!
