Subject: installing knncat package

This is an error in the package. In file src/Makevars it has
LAPACK_LIBS=$(R_HOME)/src/modules/lapack/libRlapack.a
which is a reference to the R sources. That should not be there: please
remove it and this may well work.
However, your version of R is rather old, which is why you are not seeing
a pre-compiled version. R 2.0.1 will be out this week, and please
upgrade to it when all the current packages which compile under Windows
will be available to you, pre-compiled.
