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

Hello R-users: I'm experiencing difficulty in building a package in R 1.4.1 under Windows 2000.

Dear R Help, My apologies if this is widely known, but I didn't find this in the R archives. I am running WinXP pro and R 1.90. Rcmd build or check fails with the error: "Please set TMPDIR to a valid temporary directory" $TMPDIR is set to $TMPDIR or C:/TEMP in share\perl\R\Var.pm. TMPDIR or c:\temp do not exist on WinXP on my laptop. I have C:\WUTemp and the env variables

Hi R Gurus! This is definitely off topic, but I thought I'd try: what is the way to put in url's into a Latex file, please? I know that you start with a \newcommand statement, with some kind of argument that will change, but I'm not sure how to set it up, please. thanks, Edna Bell

Hi All, I am having a problem with Rcmd build using R-devel on WinXP.

I can get Rcmd build to work using R-1.7.1 and R-1.8.0, so I don't think it is a permission problem. I looked at the build file, and the

R users, I recently upgraded (?) to Windows XP from 2000. I am trying to build an R package. I have done this many times on my old system and I am not sure why it is not working in XP. To build the package I call a bat file that specifies all the necessary paths -- but the "build" file (which appears to be a perl script) is looking for a "src" subdirectory in the src

Hi R Gurus! I have 2 questions, please: a. I'm putting together a little baby package on SUSE Linux 10.1. I want to create a zip of the package for windows. How should I create that please? b. I don't know if the following is possible but here it is: I have R and a bunch of libraries set up very nicely. I would like to hand off this setup to someone else. Should I just copy

I am trying to create a package. I have succeeded in running R CMD check and R CMD build on an Intel box running Redhat. I would now like to build it on Windows as well. There is no compiled code in the package at all. I have downloaded the tools from Brian Ripley's Building R for Windows page, and installed Active Perl 5.8.0. I have set paths, and Rcmd and the tools are being found ok. I am
