R help - Dec 2007 - Installing Rgraphviz package on a windows vista pc

Hi,
I want to install Rgraphviz on a windows vista pc. The only source file that I
found in the bioconductor homepage is a tar file. I can't install from this
using the packages command in the R menu. I would like to get some tips on how I
can do the installation.

Can I just place the extracted Rgraph folder (from the source tar file) in the
library folder of R2.6.1 along with the other packages? How do I then alert R
that this folder is there?

Thanking you,
Ravi

(No, it will not work.)

If you select the Bioconductor repository (from Packages -> Set 
Repositories) Rgraphviz will be found: it works for me.

If you need more help, please ask on the Bioconductor list (see the R 
posting guide).

Hi Ravi -- this is a Bioconductor package, so please ask on the
Bioconductor mailing list.

There is a windows binary available

http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.1/bioc/html/Rgraphviz.html

The best way to install this and all Bioconductor packages is
> source('http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R')
> biocLite('Rgraphviz')
