blotter package

Hello,

i'm also interested in these windows 32 bit compiled packages. Can anybody
help me?
And how is it solved the  "not installed for 'arch=i386'" problem?

32 and 64 bit Windows binaries are available on R-Forge for R 2.12.x

Regards,

   - Brian

Hi Javier,

If you can't install it directly from R-Forge (from inside R):

install.packages("blotter", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")

You can try to install everything from source. Here is what I did in XP.


1) Install R-Tools from here http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/

2) Download latest source version of xts from R-Forge
https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=118

3) Download latest source version of blotter, FinancilInstrument and
quantstrat from R-Forge https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=316

4) From the command line, go to the directory where you downloaded the
previous packages:

R CMD INSTALL xts_0.7-6.13.tar.gz

R CMD INSTALL FinancialInstrument_0.4.tar.gz

R CMD INSTALL blotter_0.7.4.2.tar.gz

R CMD INSTALL quantstrat_0.3.2.tar.gz 

Regards

Alain

That's true Brian, i've installed most of the packages that i need from
R-Forge.
However, RMySQL package it's not available in R-Forge. Windows binaries
aren't available either in CRAN.
So I've tried to build it for windows following Alain's instructions but i
get an "unknown command" error when i type  R CMD INSTALL
RMySQL_0.7-5.tar.gz . I've installed R-Tools and fixed my path as it is
supposed.
Any intuition about what i might be doing wrong?

Thank you all

Couple things I can think of:

1) is R itself in your path? (i.e.) set R_HOME=c:\Program 
Files\R\R2.12.1 and then in the PATH (at the end, don't interfere with 
the r-tools mod at the front) add in: %R_HOME%\bin
Also if it compiled on Windows, it shouldn't generate a .tar.gz file (I 
get *.zip files on Windows when building)

2) Also have you looked at this site? : 
http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/RMySQL

HTH.. If you can't get it working, I have a windows build I can throw up 
on my server ( I need to check which version of mysql i compiled it 
against when I get in front of that computer later today)

Cedrick

Cedrick, it helped! I did what it's said in that site and it worked. I had to
reinstall mysql with client header and library files but it worked.
Thank you so much

Regards
