Dear all mailing listers,

I failed in install source packages in Windows system. I have installed
Rtools in order to install the source package based on the discussion
available on the following link:
http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Installing-a-Package-tar-gz-in-windows-td3411393.html.
By the way, only installing the Rtools is ok, isn't it? Do I need to run
the Rtools?

install.packages("adapt_1.0-4.tar.gz", type="source", repos=NULL)
* installing *source* package 'adapt' ...
** Creating default NAMESPACE file
** libs
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'adapt'
* removing 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.2/library/adapt'
warning??
1: running command'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-215~1.2/bin/i386/R CMD INSTALL -l
"C:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.2/library"   "adapt_1.0-4.tar.gz"'had
status 1

2: In install.packages("adapt_1.0-4.tar.gz", type = "source", repos = NULL)
:
  installation of package ??adapt_1.0-4.tar.gz??had non-zero exit status

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Download the sources and install from the command line, then you will 
get sensible output.

In this case, there was probably a reason why adapt has been removed 
from CRAN ....

Best,
Uwe Ligges
Kind regards,

David
