Recompile a package
3 messages · Yuliya Matveyeva, Uwe Ligges, Brian Ripley
1. Upgrade to a recent version of R. 2. download the whole source package and untar it 3. change the files 4. R CMD build it 5. R CMD INSTALL it For more details see the manual R Installation and Administration as well as Writing R Extensions if the Fortran changes are not trivial or you need other details for applying changes.

Hello, dear R community. The thing is that I am not in the least a developer, neither do I want to create a package of my own.

So if one needs to change them, he sure can, only that he has to change a file with an .f or .ff extension (I believe that it stands for Fortran code, but I am not sure) and then recompile it. http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/library/LogicReg/html/logreg.html I have found several posts in the mailing-archive, but they seem to deal with Windows.

What I need is just recompile a package, in which I have manually changed several files. I really am kinda silly in these kinds of things... So any hints and help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried R CMD COMPILE condlogic.ff But it tells me: ERROR: don't know how to compile 'condlogic.ff' I am probably not getting something...

It seems this is about package LogicReg, not LogicForest. Google suggests that this is about the following page: http://kooperberg.fhcrc.org/logic/helpfiles/logreg.myown.html and my guess is that you are supposed to rename condlogic.ff. But (as the posting guide asked) you need to ask the authors of the confusing documentation for clarification. R 2.10.1 is seriously old now: please update as the posting guide suggested.
