I think you will find that the R experts expect users to have a higher level of knowledge about your
system's workings than you are displaying. Here you are apparently asking them to give? step by step
education about how to do a basic Windows software management task. That' not what R-help offers. You
could ask this sort of question on a Windows help forum .... or get yourself a book ..... or read the
MS documentation.
I'm not a Windows user so don't ask me.
And you really should read the Posting Guide more carefully. You persist in multiple departures from
its requested posting style.

I do not understand item 2, what do you mean by add R's bin directory to path?
While directly use to c:\temp and type the commands, it says 'R' is not recognized as an internal
or external command.
While I use previous approach by going into the bin directory and type R CMD INSTALL
"c:/temp/Rcplex", it told me that configuration failed for package 'Rcplex'

Based on my understanding of the manual, I moved upziped the file and put the folder of Rcplex
under the directory of c:/temp
Then I use cmd under windows to go to the director of C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.13.0\bin, where my R is installed
and typed R CMD INSTALL
"c:/temp/Rcplex"
I'd
1. install a recent version of R
2. add R's bin directory to the PATH and go to c:\temp and say
R CMD build Rcplex
followed by
R CMD INSTALL Rcplex_version.tar.gz
3. When it fails, I'd try to find out if the ERROR message is helpful.
4. If 3 fails, I'd ask the maintainer for help - including relevant
information, like the error message, install paths, version information etc.

I got the error of configuration failed for package "Rcplex"
Any idea?

I was just reminded by the tech support in my university that cplex is an independent software
owned by ILOG, which in turn is now owned by IBM. I suceeded in installing the software cplex under
the directory of "C:/Program Files/IBM/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio_Academic124/cplex"
I guess Rcplex is an R package to utilize the software cplex. I have changed the path
"/c/ilog/cplex111" to the above path. My question is how to finally and effectively install the
package of Rcplex?
You have been asked alreeady to read the R Installation and
Administration manual.
Uwe Ligges
Thanks,
Wei

Thank you both for helping. Still could not figure out.
I was contacting different supporting IT departments in my university but did not get any help.
For the moment, I just want to what does the instruction of the package means. You could find
this instruction on page http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rcplex/INSTALL
? ? ? ? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
***WINDOWS***
Installation on Windows systems is done by using the provided
Makevars.win file in the src directory. It contains the following
lines:
PKG_CPPFLAGS=-I<CPLEX_DIR>/include
PKG_LIBS=-L<CPLEX_DIR>/lib/x86_windows_vs2008/stat_mda -lcplex111 -lm
where<cplex_dir>? ? is the cplex installation directory
e.g. /c/ilog/cplex111. Please edit your Makevars.win file accordingly.
We have successfully tested this procedure with CPLEX 11.1 on 32-bit
Windows XP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can find the file and see the codes. But what new path should I put, and what to do next?
The path to your CPLEX installation?
Uwe Ligges
Thanks,
Wei

Read the Installation Manual?
And don't forget this is a source package for which no CRAN Windows
binary exists, hence it may be not that straightforward to get it done
and you wil have to read the INSTALL file from the source package carefully.
