ROracle installation problem
You need to manally configure this, *as it says*. In fact ROracle/inst/README.windows says For details on how to compile ROracle under windows see the file src/Makefile.win -- it pretty much documents requirements, etc. To run the Windows binary packge ROracle_<version>.zip you'll need the client software from Oracle. You must have the $ORACLE_HOME/bin in your path in order for R to find the Oracle's runtime libraries. The path you mention is one of the things ROracle/src/Makefile.win asked you to define! cl is part of Visual C++ (or the Platform SDK).

I tried "R CMD INSTALL DBI_0.2-4.tar.gz" and also failed. DBI had been
installed by "install.packages("DBI")" and it was removed after the mannul
installation.
I noticed that in the error, the path is R-2.2.1, which is different
from the default path (R-2.6.2).
Thanks in advance.
