I have downloaded and transfered to my P.C (Window 98)
the version of R which has been split on purpose,that is to
say the rw0990b1.zip ,rw0990b2.zip ,etc files.
I encountered no problem as far as the installation is concerned.
But when I try to run some function ,for instance loess, it issued
an error message stating that an underlying Fortran program is not
properly loaded.
Well, I am sure it does not say precisely that! The only times we have seen a similar report, removing everything and re-installing worked. If you do that and still have problems, use bug.report to send a a report with the exact error messages, please. You may want to wait for tomorrow and rw1000 before trying again.
Morever, I had previously downloaded the R.0990a.tgz version, split it with the software available on Unix ( I used' split -b 1425000 R-0.99.0a.tgz R'), and passed it to my computer using 'copy/b Raa+Rab+Rac R.tgz'. If the decompression seemed to have run smoothly, I could not even start since I was unable to find the Rterm.exe. In fact there were no bin file inside the rw0990 file.
Right, that is the source code, and has no rw0990 file at all. You need to build that from scratch: the instructions are in src/gnuwin32/INSTALL.
