Hi all, I am trying to install a custom package from its source using windows. Using this guide http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/~maman/computerstuff/Rhelp/Rpackages.html I've gotten to the fifth step, but I get the following error in the command window: "'sh' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." I saw in the help archives that R-tools needed to be installed and in the system path, so I did this but it still doesn't work. Does anyone have an idea of what still could be going wrong?
Why use two year old documentation, when you've got current, accurate documentation with R (in the Installation and Administration manual)?
Another website recommended "If you know an R programmer who uses Windows you could ask him or her to compile the package and give you the resulting binary file which should be easier to install." Would anyone mind doing this for me if I send you the tar.gz file?
