similar to: Installing local package under Windows.

Hi! My Platform: Windows 2000 R version >1.5 Active Perl 5.6 Rtools at the start of the PATH. I am trying to build a package. The functions are written only in R (no C code). I am trying to proceed as described in R-exts.pdf But instead to get a build package i am getting (see below). At first glance it seems to me that i understand the output. At something similar i am looking most of my

Hello! I've just installed R and I'm doing my first steps. I tried to install a package from a local zip.file. ------------------ > {pkg <- select.list(sort(.packages(all.available = TRUE))) + if(nchar(pkg)) library(pkg, character.only=TRUE)} > install.packages("C:/schacar/rw1051/RPgSQL.zip", .libPaths()[1], CRAN = NULL) updating HTML package descriptions

Hello, Could someone please tell me why the following doesn't work: I have a file C:\Program Files\R\rw1051\etc\Renviron.site, which contains the line: R_LIBS= "C:/Jim/LocalR-Libraries/FromCran"; "C:/Jim/LocalR-Libraries/Cantata" >From the documentation, I gather that I have put this file in the default location, but to be safe I also explicitly set the R_ENVIRON

It gives the error :

I am using/trying to use R 2.2.0. I have created a package of ``supplementary'' time series functions for use by my students in a time series course. The package involves only raw R code; no dynamic loading to complicate matters. I need to install this package in a location on a local area network where the students can access it under Windoze. In the past I learned that I could do

Hello, I know this might sound stupid, but here's my problem. I try to build packages, which gives absolutely no problem as long as I do this in Linux. I get my .tar.gz-package. However, for windows, one needs .zip-files (I guess), but for one reason or another, this seems not to work. I'm sorry about this question, but I'm not a windows-specialist (nor Linux-guru). I don't see

Hi, I made a package on a linux box. All worked fine. The package contains only R code (no C). I then wanted to make a zip file so that I could test the package on a windows machine. I have tried all the obvious ways to do this (and even some that are not!), but to no avail. The only instructions I find about building packages for windows (e.g. mypkg.zip) seem to imply that the build be done

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

Hi, my name is Paula. Im trying to learn how to build an R package in Windows XP using a simple example which includes a C source code. The foo.c file is located in mypkg/src/foo.c. I used the command Rcmd build --force --binary [pkgpath]. The problem is when I install the zip file in R the function foo doesn?t exist. The result a recieved during the building process is copied below. I really

Prof. Brian Ripley solved the problem. He wrote: > I was not aware that this works with relative paths for any version > of R. Try using a full path, which always works for me. I tried it using a full path, and bingo! It worked like a charm. Under Unix the relative path also works, but. Prof. Ripley also remarked: > If indeed your filesystem is readonly, you will have problems

Dear R-devel, I've noticed that when I place a `NEWS' file in the top-level directory for a package, then do R CMD build mypkg, the file gets included in the .tar.gz file. However, if I do R CMD build --binary mypkg, the `NEWS' file does not get included in the .zip file. Is this intentional? Is there a way I can get such a file included in the pre-compiled package automatically?

Dear R experts, Sorry, I am resending this, since I have not received this mail myself for the past 5 hours. I saw a similar question dated July 2. But there is no answer to it. Does anybody have a solution to it? I am using window NT, and the R version is 1.5.1, the SJava package is the binary version SJavaWin_0.62-8.zip. Here are the error message: > library(SJava) > .JavaInit()

Dear List, Can I build a binary package (.zip) for Windows on my Linux machine from my package sources? There is no C, C++, Fortran code involved, just plain ol' R. I read through the article by Jun and Rossini, but (on first reading) this seems more targeted at building a Windows version of R and Windows package binaries that contain C, C++, Fortran code that needs to be compiled. Thanks,

Continuing to try to customize my environment for using R under Windoze, I experimented with installing a package from CRAN in a local library ``Lib''. I created the directory ``Lib'' in the folder in which R starts, and then executed > install.packages("abind",lib="Lib") Everything went according to form (I got prompted to choose a mirror, etc.) until

Hello: Many thanks to Professor Ripley for responding to my earlier post, included below, about trying to use mingw32 gcc.I did put back the original Rinternals.h. I am still crashing R every time I try to use C code. Here is what I did, basd on readme.packages: 1.) Ensured that C:\Rtools was first in my path, and obtained a new tools.zip from BDR's R tools site. 2.) Ensured that I

I have some questions about 1. nomenclature, 2. recommended file locations and 3. overall procedure related to creating packages. To the extent that it matters, examples here relate to Windows XP R 2.0.1 beta. The questions are interspersed and prefaced with ***. My understanding is that there are actually 6 forms of a package that one should use in package development: 1.

Hello, I am trying to build an R package for Windows from an R package for Linux. There seems to be a "windres" problem somewhere. Here's what I get.
