Is there a recommended binary version of perl to use under Windows XP for `Rcmd build'? The R FAQ for Windows just mentions "perl". I think that Kevin Wang's document on R for Windows suggests ActiveState perl but I have not been able to install it. I am running Windows XP Professional on a laptop. The operating system was originally Windows 98 then upgraded to Windows ME

I've been trying to create/load/call a dll from R-1.8.1 on Windows without much success. I've been able to at least load the library on FreeBSD (1.8.1). I've been able to perform this before using DLL that weren't created using RCMD SHLIB, but simply compiling under MS DevStudio. C:\optflikam>rcmd shlib --output=optflikam.dll as47.f as197.f flikam.c g77 -O2 -Wall -c as47.f

Has anyone successfully used Rcmd install or Rcmd check on Windows Vista? I have been successfully been running R itself, just not Rcmd install and Rcmd check. Rcmd check fails, the Ryacas.Rcheck it creates is read-only, I don't have permission to delete it and I have to reset the permissions on it just to delete it. With Rcmd install I am getting the following which looks like I am running

Hi, I have just updated R from version 2.8.1 to version 2.9.1. I am running Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 3. With the update, I decided to update a set of packages that I maintain by compiling them for the new version. Everything worked fine except for one package. This package is unique (among the six I was working on) in that is stored on a UNIX-based file server that is

Dear R users, With package.skeleton() i have produced successfully my .Rd??s, ... Now i will run Rcmd check on ..\R\bin\ But Rcmd check (and build) on my Windows XP does not work.

Rcmd prints out the offending file, and in the printout I

Hello, I recently updated to R version 2.13.2. With R version 2.10.0, I often created and installed R packages, however, I cannot do this since updating. In other words, when I type in Rcmd build -binary PACKAGENAME I receive an error message: "Rcmd is not recognized as an internal...". I suspect that this is because Rcmd.exe is no longer installed in the bin folder, but rather, in

Full_Name: David Firth Version: 1.2.3 OS: Windows NT4 Submission from: (NULL) (163.1.103.107) Two things that look like bugs: 1. RCMD INSTALL does not seem to cope with quotes in the Windows path. With my path set to PATH="C:\R\Rtools";"C:\R\rw1023\bin";C:\Perl\bin\;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\ mingw2\bin I get, for example, C:\R>RCMD INSTALL boot RCMD

The trailing backslash seems to be the culprit. After looking at rw1020\bin\INSTALL, I noticed $pkg =~ s/\/$//; which I assume is to strip the trailing slash from a package name before obtaining the package name and cleaning out its directory I added $pkg =~ s/\\$//; immediately after this line. Rerunning Rcmd INSTALL C:\rw1011\src\library\bqtl\ with that change seemed to work OK
