XML Packge for Windows XP and R 2.12.
Hello, I am looking for the XML Package for Windows or any package, which would enable me to use the function "xmlTreeParse". In a thread dating from 2001, the same question is raised:
Griffith Feeney wrote: Has anyone gotten the XML package (R News 1-1:24) with R running on
Windows
(95 or 98 or 2000)? I've looked at the omegahat, expat and libxml web pages, looks like compiling from source (of which I have little
experience)
will be necessary. I'm wondering how difficult it might prove to be. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
A windows binary version is available at http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib

As for Feeney compiling from source is not a preferable option for me, as I have no experience on that. In the link provided by Uwe Ligges, I could not locate the file I am looking for (xml.** zip). Thanks a lot for your help, Katrin Schaber
