Windows binary version of DPpackage
5 messages · Debabrata Midya, Brian Ripley, Dieter Menne
The package does not install under Windows: see http://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-release-windows-ix86/DPpackage-00check.html The maisntainer has been informed (probably many times via the automated notification system). With 1700 packages, the volunteers have no time to spend correcting packages for non-responsive maintainers (we do quite a lot for responsive ones). The posting guide suggested you contact him first: did you get a response?

Dear R users, Thanks in advance. I am Deb, Statistician at NSW Department of Commerce, Sydney. I am using R 2.8.1 on Windows XP. This has reference to the package ???DPpackage???. The binary version is available on Mac OS, but I am using Windows XP. May I request you to assist me in the followings: How can I prepare Windows binary of DPpackage from source?
Follow the rw-FAQ, set yourself up to compile source packages, try this one, find the errors, correct them, use the package you compiled.
2. Is there any possibility to have a copy of Windows binary of DPpackage in the near future in the site http://www.cran.r-project.org/?
Only if the maintainer submits a corrected version.
Once again, thank you very much for the time you have given. I am looking forward for your reply. Regards, Debabrata Midya (Deb) NSW Department of Commerce Government Procurement Management Level 11 McKell Building 2-24 Rawson Place Sydney NSW 2000 Australia

That package was available earlier and seems to work for me in the version from May 2007, but it currently does not build successfully. http://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-devel-windows-ix86/DPpackage-00check.html Too bad, this is a great package. Looks like it no longer maintained? I will send a copy to Alejandro.JaraVallejos at med.kuleuven.be Dieter

The address in the package is dead. Dimitris gave me his new address, ajarav at udec.cl, and I have sent a message to him. Dieter

I contacted Alejandro (now Conception/Chile), and he will upload a new version this weekend, with his correct address so that in future he will receive error notifications. Dieter
