similar to: Installing packages from source on WindowsXP

Hi again, I've just uninstalled R2.01 and installed the new R2.10 on my WindowsXP machine. I then attempted to install the vegan package from source files, as I learned to do last week, with the help of some of you. I have updated my path variable to the new R directory (R/rw2010/bin instead of R/rw2001pat/bin), and I've still got the HTMLHelpWorkshop files installed, as well as Perl

..many thanks, no it works until he didn't find hhc.exe (..but the path to HTMLHelpWorkshop should be correct !?) and break down, ok i just check all path settings and find a solution for my self ! But here another problem: ...modify without the MkRules in my current binary R.1.6.1\src\gnuwin32 C:\DataMining\rw1061\library>Rcmd INSTALL Oop make: Entering directory

Hi, I've just about got myself transferred from windowsXP to Linux (Mepis 3.3.1-1). I've got R 2.1.1, emacs, and ess running from the debian repositories. Of course, there is a hitch. I have a bit of C code in one of my personal functions. I have, apparently without problem, been able to compile it using R CMD SHLIB, but when I try to dyn.load it I get the following error: >

Hi, I'm having some trouble with a bit of combined C & R code. I'm trying to write a C function to handle the for loops in a function I'm working on to calculate a similarity matrix. Jari Oksanen has kindly added the necessary changes to the vegan package so that I can use the vegdist function, so this isn't absolutely necessary. However, I'm stubborn and want to know

Hi, I am trying to build a package from source for the first time. I'm using Windows XP. After R CMD INSTALL or R CMD check I get an error message that I don't understand. I've tried to follow the instrucions provided in the R Installation and Administration .pdf and the text file that comes with Rtools, but most of this is new to me and clearly I'm missing something. Here's

Hi, I am getting the following error when using R CMD INSTALL ever since I upgraded to R-2.7.1: hhc: not found CHM compile failed: HTML Help Workshop not intalled? As indicated, the package is installed but without CHM help files. I have downloaded the latest version of Rtools and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling HTML Help Workshop. I have also tried rebuilding the package several

Hello, I am a relatively new user of R. I have written a basic function to calculate the Gower similarity function. I was motivated to do so partly as an excercise in learning R, and partly because the existing option (vegdist in the vegan package) does not accept missing values. I think I have succeeded - my function gives me the correct values. However, now that I'm starting to use it with

Dear R users, I am having problems building R packages in Windows xp. I have followed the instructions from Peter E. Rossi in Documentation -> Other, except for the TeX version (fpTeX), since when I go to the recommended webpage, it is said that fpTeX has been discontinued. I have MikTeX in my computer, and I have followed the recommendations in

I recently got a RFC on Eclipse and StatET setup from a R-help user, so here it is. Note: there may be slight errors of omission in my directions as I am making these notes after I had a successful install. If you have questions post here. Setup tested with Eclipse 3.4.0 on XP 32-bit and Eclipse 3.4.2 on Vista 32-bit. R 2.9.0 alpha. Installing StatET: 1. Go to Help > Software Updates...

Dear All, With the warm support of every R expert, I have built my R library successfully. Especially thanks: Duncan Murdoch Gabor Grothendieck Henrik Bengtsson Uwe Ligges Without your help, I will lower efficiency. I noticed that some other friends were puzzled by the method of building library. Now, I organize a document about it. Hoping it can help more friends. 1. Read

I would like to start building R packages under Windows XP. I have programming experience and a minimal but working knowlege of many Unix (-like) programming tools. The package functions (for now) will be from R source, not C or Fortran. I've installed Rtools, Perl, the MS hhc, and so on. I am setting up a command shell with the correct PATH for building packages. (The master Windows PATH

Dear R-helpers, I'm having trouble compiling R packages from source on Win2K. I installed R 1.7.1beta [1] on my win2k machine [2], downloaded the fields package as source [3] and tried but failed to install the package [4]. I get the same problem with other packages, so it doesn't appear to be limited to fields. Installation of precompiled packages seems to work fine. I've been

Hi, If I want to build R-patched from source (on Windows), do I need to edit Makefile and/or MkRules at all? I have followed all instructions in the INSTALL file (under R-patched/src/gnuwin32/), as well as downloaded all the files from http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ . My PATH variable has been modified accordingly. Now, with the only change to MkRules I made was to modify the Tcl/Tk

Hello, Apologies in advance if this should be in R-devel, not Rhelp. I did read through the R-devel thread started by Gabor Grothendieck in September of this year - I am getting the exact same error using a new computer that has XP installed, not vista, complaining that the file hhc.exe is not found. I have downloaded the hhc.exe to HTML Help Workshop dir in Program Files but it says that

Hi all I am not sure this question is better suitted for the R-devel or R-help, but here it goes anyway I am not a software developer but I have produced a personal set of functions that I would like now to combine in a package. I am finding this really hard to do only by following the manuals provided (the language is for software developers I guess which I am far to be). Even so I could
