Compiling errors for Matrix_0.995-5.tar.gz under XP
Please read the R-admin manual and as it suggests use the candidate compilers, now gcc 3.4.5. You also need the Rtools at the front of your path, so you find find.exe not FIND.exe. Finally, it seems to be requiring latex, so you may need to install that (I am really not sure why though).

I installed the MinGW-5.0.0 compilers today (gcc-3.4.2 is now contained in the 'Current' distribution. When the current compilers failed to compile the referenced Matrix update and not knowing how to check the exact version numbers for individual files, I applied the Id.exe and f771.exe fixes from the 'Building R for Windows' page (http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/#ldbug). More compiler errors were obtained. I then checked my Pearl version (5.8.7) and updated my R tools since I couldn't tell how old they were. At that point, I obtained the following output: C:\Documents and Settings\Whitece.AMED\My Documents\1 Pocket Office\R Repository \lme4>rcmd install matrix_0.995-5.tar.gz latex: not found latex: not found latex: not found ---------- Making package matrix ------------ latex: not found adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION latex: not found installing NAMESPACE file and metadata latex: not found running src/Makefile.win ... latex: not found make[3]: `Matrix.dll' is up to date. ... done installing DLL latex: not found installing R files latex: not found installing inst files FIND: Parameter format not correct make[2]: *** [C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-22~1.1/library/matrix/inst] Error 2 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make: *** [pkg-matrix] Error 2 *** Installation of matrix failed *** Removing 'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-22~1.1/library/matrix' Restoring previous 'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-22~1.1/library/matrix' If I need to read one of R's many friendly manuals, I'd appreciate a reference to which one and approximately which section.
