Hi,
I have a source package that isn't available as a windows zip file. Can
anyone explain to me how I can install this on my windows R platform?
When I use the following code:
install.packages("PReMiuM_3.0.21.tar.gz", type = "source")
Where did you get that version from? CRAN has version 3.0.20 and that is available as a binary Windows package (.zip). As for the error message: you have to have Rtools installed to compile source packages. Berend
I get this error message:
* installing *source* package 'PReMiuM' ...
** libs
*** arch - i386
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'PReMiuM'
* removing 'C:/Program Files/R/R-3.0.1/library/PReMiuM'

Thanks for any help anyone can give me, Lucy
