How to install old randomForest?

Hi Ted, You need to unzip and untar the files that are inside that file, and then build the package using R CMD build --binary PackageName. However, for compiling a package under a windows environment you will need Rtools2.10 from Duncan Murdoch, along with Miktex, and html workshop from microsoft. All that is free. I suggest you to read tutorials on how to build packages from sources in Windows. This website might be a good start point http://www.biostat.wisc.edu/~kbroman/Rintro/Rwinpack.html.

Hi all, I'm using windowsXP and R 2.10.0. I downloaded "randomForest 4.5-33.tar.gz" from its archive, but how do I make it into a installation ZIP file? Thanks, Ted
As an alternative guide to the build process, have a look at Rob Hyndman's instructions: http://robjhyndman.com/researchtips/building-r-packages-for-windows/ David Scott _________________________________________________________________ David Scott Department of Statistics The University of Auckland, PB 92019 Auckland 1142, NEW ZEALAND Phone: +64 9 923 5055, or +64 9 373 7599 ext 85055 Email: d.scott at auckland.ac.nz, Fax: +64 9 373 7018 Director of Consulting, Department of Statistics
