R help - Apr 2010 - Building Hmisc

>From the notes I see that for 2.11 Hmisc is not supported and the suggestion
is made to build from source. I am on a Windows 7 platform and I got all of the
tools and successfully built 'R' from source. I changed to gnuwin32 and
entered make all recommended. Even though the tar.gz (source) version of Hmisc
has been downloaded and placed in library/recommended folder the build process
doesn't seem to pick it up. What do I need to do to build this from source?
Right now whenever I start R I get the error:
Error: package 'Hmisc' could not be loaded
In addition: Warning message:
In library(pkg, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE, lib.loc = lib.loc)
:
  there is no package called 'Hmisc'

And I cannot run anything.

Thank you for the suggestions.

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

I can't help with your problem. Sorry, but I am interested to learn how you
compiled Hmisc package because I need to use it, too.

Thank you,

Klaus

Hmsic is not among the recommended packages that are shiped with R, 
hence you cannot install it that way.
See the manual "R Installation and Administration" how to do it.

My forecast is that a binary of a fixed Hmisc will be available next week.

Best,
Uwe Ligges
