Based on my understanding of the manual, I moved upziped the file and put the folder of Rcplex under the directory of c:/temp Then I use cmd under windows to go to the director of C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.0\bin, where my R is installed and typed R CMD INSTALL "c:/temp/Rcplex"
I'd 1. install a recent version of R 2. add R's bin directory to the PATH and go to c:\temp and say R CMD build Rcplex followed by R CMD INSTALL Rcplex_version.tar.gz 3. When it fails, I'd try to find out if the ERROR message is helpful. 4. If 3 fails, I'd ask the maintainer for help - including relevant information, like the error message, install paths, version information etc. Uwe Ligges
I got the error of configuration failed for package "Rcplex" Any idea?

I was just reminded by the tech support in my university that cplex is an independent software owned by ILOG, which in turn is now owned by IBM. I suceeded in installing the software cplex under the directory of "C:/Program Files/IBM/ILOG/CPLEX_Studio_Academic124/cplex" I guess Rcplex is an R package to utilize the software cplex. I have changed the path "/c/ilog/cplex111" to the above path. My question is how to finally and effectively install the package of Rcplex? You have been asked alreeady to read the R Installation and Administration manual.

Still could not figure out. I was contacting different supporting IT departments in my university but did not get any help. For the moment, I just want to what does the instruction of the package means. You could find this instruction on page http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rcplex/INSTALL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***WINDOWS*** Installation on Windows systems is done by using the provided Makevars.win file in the src directory. It contains the following lines: PKG_CPPFLAGS=-I<CPLEX_DIR>/include PKG_LIBS=-L<CPLEX_DIR>/lib/x86_windows_vs2008/stat_mda -lcplex111 -lm where<cplex_dir> is the cplex installation directory e.g. /c/ilog/cplex111. Please edit your Makevars.win file accordingly. We have successfully tested this procedure with CPLEX 11.1 on 32-bit Windows XP. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can find the file and see the codes. But what new path should I put, and what to do next? The path to your CPLEX installation?

I installed it as you suggested. what to do next? Read the Installation Manual? And don't forget this is a source package for which no CRAN Windows binary exists, hence it may be not that straightforward to get it done and you wil have to read the INSTALL file from the source package carefully.
