Installing the Rstem package
Hello, thanks a lot for the replies. I've installed the binary for R-2.8.x available at: http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/~ligges/Rstem_0.3-1.zip However, when I try using some of the functions, such as getStemLanguages() or wordStem(), I get:
getStemLanguages()
Error: could not find function "getStemLanguages" or
words = c("sing", "singing", "singer")
wordStem(words, language = "english")
Error: could not find function "wordStem" Why do I get this? Haven't I installed the package correctly? I've done this using the R Gui: "Packages" --> "Install package(s) from local zip files ...", have chosen the .zip file, which I've downloaded from the URL you sent me, and I got:
utils:::menuInstallLocal()
package 'Rstem' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked updating HTML package descriptions Do I need to do something else? I receive the same results after installing (in this way) the the binary for R-2.7.x.

I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you mean by "CRAN extras". I have googled and found this page with binaries checks for Windows, but there is no Rstem package there, and it is just a "check" (no files which I could download): http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/checkSummaryWin.html Regards

I don't understand the last message either: the build environment has problems. a) There seem to be no Windows binaries on Omegahat for R > 2.7. b) A few are available from CRAN extras (one of the default repositories on Window), and I've added Rstem. So please try again now. On Thu, 5 Mar 2009, Maria I. Tchalakova wrote:
Hello, I am trying to install the Rstem package, but I have problems. I am using Windows XP and the 2.8.1 version of R. I have read the "Add-on packages" chapter of the "R Installation and Administration" manual, and also have tried several things, which worked for other people on the mailing list having faced the same problem (http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/03/22889.html). I paste below the things, which I have tried and the results. I don't understand what the message "installation of package 'Rstem' had non-zero exit status" mean, which I get on my last try below. Could anyone advise me what should I do? Thank you. p.s. I have successfully installed the lsa package, which depends on the Rstem package.
Only for some restricted value of 'success'.
