Dear all, Thanks for Baptiste's help. He offered me the website http://win-builder.r-project.org/ This is very good. However, I face another problem recently that I need to program a package, which require 'multiple-precision floating-point computations'. I found that MPFR is very good tools. It can be installed on the linux system, if you want to use it just include some head files. So my problem is my computer can only compile the linux version package not the windows .zip version. And also If I want to use the website above, it doesn't install the MPFR. I want to try to compile it directly on my computer. I stuck here.
See the examples in package Rmpfr. You can make use of the same setting on winbuilder.
In other words, we do have a pre-compiled mpfr for Windows, and it *is* installed on winbuilder. You can get it from http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ for your own use.
