Hello, I'm running R with windows. Could anybody help me how to install the package biOps (http://cran.mirroring.de/src/contrib/Descriptions/biOps.html) ? I cannot find it at any mirror provided by the GUI; I just found it as "tar.gz" which cannot be installed with the installation method... Maybe, I simply do something wrong? Thanks for any hint! Antje
This is a source code package. Install Rtools (http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/), then you should be able to compile source packages from the Windows command prompt For example, c:\downloads>R CMD INSTALL biOps_0.1-1.tar.gz provided you have downloaded the file biOps_0.1-1.tar.gz to the directory c:\downloads on your hard drive.

I already asked the package maintainer (CCing again) to fix the package by simply adding one line: ZipData: no to its DESCRIPTION file.
