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

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' ... OK * this is

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

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

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 =

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

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 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

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,

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

I compiled R 2.1.0 under Windows XP SP2 as a preliminary to rebuilding a custom package for use with R 2.1.0. The compile completed successfully, and I was able to run demo(graphics) successfully.

Hi, I am new to Latex and in the process of installing miktex to work with R on windows XP professional. From earlier posts, I see that fptex was the preferred version, but it is no longer available. Now miktex is preferred. However, there are known issues with finding the style files in version 2.4. Fortunately, www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/mikitex.html provides a series of workarounds.

Hi R-Users I wrote 1 week ago asking about a message that appears when I try run dyn.load. I'm trying to do an example in C code from "Writing R Extension" to learn how to do it. I have R 2.0.0, Rtools, Perl and MinGW as describe in http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ with path sets. When I use C:\R\rw2000\bin>RCMD SHLIB -o C:/dev-cpp/teste.dll
