I cound not find it with google and found no "devtools" on this page 
http://had.co.nz/
can you give more details please.


> R CMD INSTALL /tmp/sitools
> R
> require(sitools)

This seems not to be what i want:

$ R CMD INSTALL sitools
* installing to library ?/usr/local/lib/R/site-library?
Error: ERROR: no permission to install to directory ?/usr/local/lib/R/site-library?

R tries to install something in my system. That may confuse my 
debian packagemanagement.

kind regards,
