similar to: missing sh.exe file when running "R CMD INSTALL test"

I am trying to learn how to make a simple package that contains no C or Fortran code. I used package.skeleton(...) to make a package called "test". The directory and files look good. I downloaded and installed Rtools (www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/tools.zip). I added the path and from the dos prompt I can verify that make.exe and sh.exe both exist, but when I try to run "R

Dear R-ers: Recognizing that it is better to remain silent and have people think you stupid than to speak and remove any doubt, I fear that I must speak nonetheless. I am having the Devil's own time trying to make a simple R package for my own use. Yes, I have perused the FAQs and searched the archives. Yes, I have read "Writing R Extensions" and eventually divined what Rcmd

Hi, I replaced my Rtools today as posted at http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/Rtools.exe Trying to build R-devel_2007-12-13.tar.gz without modifying MkRules gives the gfortran command not found error below. I am wondering if gfortran.exe is missing from (recent?) Rtools.exe or I am doing something wrong. Thanks to hints at Duncan's site, I worked around the error by adding

FYI, I'm sure the following is a temporary issue, but in case it slips through, I want to raise it here. On Windows 7 64-bit, running Rcmd check on R devel gives: * using R version 2.13.0 Under development (unstable) (2011-02-11 r54330) * using platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32 (64-bit) * using session charset: ISO8859-1 * checking for file 'aroma.core/DESCRIPTION' ...

2008/5/19 Prof Brian Ripley <ripley at stats.ox.ac.uk>: > Where is the bug here? It also does on a Unix-alike. Then "R CMD config --help" could at least spit out an error stating what should be installed (rather than die with an execution error straight from the DOS). Setting an "sh" in the %Path% (sh coming from cygwin) does not seem to lead to something working

Dear listers, I have developped a set of functions that I would like to package on a Windows XP plateform for some friends (this would be more simple than to deliver them as a source text file without handy help). I am working under Windows XP. Of course I have gone through the manual "Writing R extension" and try to sort out what a most simple "packaging" for beginner

I have some C code (using an old Borland compiler) that calls a DLL that I'd like to get working from Windows and R (so I can read ABF files -- Axon Binary Files -- directly in R). I thought a good first approach would be able to build R in Windows, so that's what I'm trying to do. [I've done test builds of R under Linux before, and that seemed fairly simple.] I've

Dear WizaRds, I wrote a small function in R and would like to create a package. The necessary documentation is done, Rtools etc. are installed and I am still unable to complete the process under Windows. I did extensive research in the archives and read the Murdoch-Sutherland website on the Rtools and MikTeX hints. I realize that I understand only half or less of what is said there

Hi R users, Im trying to install XML source package (in window platform) using the following command. *install.packages(pkgs = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\skang\\Desktop\\Softwares\\R\\Library\\XML_2.6-0.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")* and get the following result. gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file /cygdrive/c/Rtools/bin/tar: Unexpected EOF in archive

Hi, Lately my Latex engine used for checking packages stop working, and I can not figure out how to fix it. When creating my package (caMassClass) I get the * checking caMassClass-manual.tex ... ERROR LaTeX errors when creating DVI version. This typically indicates Rd problems. message. I look in caMassClass-manual.log file and find ! LaTeX Error: File `Rd.sty' not found.

Hi, Apologies if this is the wrong list to be sending this question to. I am trying to install a copy of the R tools required to create / compile packages on windows. After downloading Rtools from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ windows keeps complaining that "The setup files are corrupted". This has happened with both the Rtools213.exe and the Rtools212.exe downloads, and

I am facing issues while installing RMySQL package on windows(32 bit) installation of R-Project. I am getting the following warning messages.

Hi, I can't seem to install R from source. I've downloaded the latest Rtools211.exe from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ & done a full installation of that and Inno Setup. I have set R_HOME as C:\R (and also tried using C:\R\R-2.11.1) After successfully running 'tar xf R-2.11.1.tar.gz' the modifications I have made and saved as MkRules.local are: BUILD_HTML =

An updated toolchain is now being used for Windows' builds of R-devel: details are in the R-admin manual and at http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ and http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ Both 32- and 64-bit parts of the toolchain use v2.0.1 of the Mingw-w64 project's runtime and a beta of gcc 4.5.4: the Mingw.org project's builds are no longer used. This should mean that

_______________________________________________________________________________________ Hi, I'm writing up the online help for a package I'm developing (in-house only, sorry), and I've come across an odd glitch when trying to nest a list inside the "arguments" section of the .Rd file. I was just wondering if anyone could provide some insights. I'm using R 2.2.0 on

Hello: 1. How can I tell when the development version of Rtools has changed? For the past few years, I've installed the development version of R tools with each new release of R. I encountered problems with this a few days ago, so I rolled back to Rtools212.exe. Unfortunately, I seem to have more problems with that version. My latest install was under Windows 7 Home Edition.

Hi We have been cross-compiling windows packages under Linux using the excellent Makefile and instructions by Tony Rossini and Jun Yan. Specifically we have been cross-compiling c++ code and it used to work. Now the minGW tools located at www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools have changed from version 4 to version 5, and our cross-compiling have stopped working. Inspecting the tarball we are

Dear all, I have been building R packages under windows on my old pc, successfully. Now I have bought a new pc, still running windows, and I am trying to build the same R packages as before, but now without the same success. I have installed the Rtools, perl, mingw and added them to the environment variables. I am running Windows XP Professional on a Thinkpad T60. I have installed R-2.4.1,

Hello. I have what I know to be a simple question, but never having done anything like this it is pretty tough. I'm trying to write an R package. I have a collection of functions that I loaded into R and then used package.skeleton(). After editing everything in the resulting folder, call it NewPackage, I tried to follow along with some instructions I found for Windows users. I installed
