Help with installing a .tar.gz package on windows
Hi, I have had a look at the manual but it makes no sense to me. I have downloaded RTools, and the InnoSetup, but I don't understand how to use these to install my package? Am I meant to be writing commands in R itself, or in these other things I've downloaded? Lucy

Hi Lucy: Did you look at the R Installation and Administration manuals? There's a good section about installing on Windows via Rtools. On Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 10:18 PM, Lucy Leigh

Great thank you - are there any resources that step through how to
use
RTools to compile the source package and install it in R on (64-bit windows) ?

Hi, I have a source package that isn't available as a windows zip
file.
Can
anyone explain to me how I can install this on my windows R
platform?
When I use the following code:
install.packages("PReMiuM_3.0.21.tar.gz", type = "source")
Where did you get that version from? CRAN has version 3.0.20 and that is available as a binary Windows package (.zip). As for the error message: you have to have Rtools installed to
compile
source packages. Berend
I get this error message: * installing *source* package 'PReMiuM' ... ** libs *** arch - i386 ERROR: compilation failed for package 'PReMiuM' * removing 'C:/Program Files/R/R-3.0.1/library/PReMiuM' Warning messages: 1: running command '"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-30~1.1/bin/x64/R" CMD INSTALL

Thanks for any help anyone can give me, Lucy
