installation of source library with fortran code
dear bryon,
Could you post a transcript of what you're trying to do?
i try to make a package from existing r functions. that means i load the functions with "source()" in R and use "package.skeleton()". After it i add the fortran code (written under win) in the src-folder and try "R CMD check" which tells me the package is not a source package: * checking for working latex ... OK * using log directory '/Users/andqua/Documents/TMP/Test.Rcheck' * checking for file 'Rsmooth/DESCRIPTION' ... OK * checking if this is a source package ... ERROR Only *source* packages can be checked. If i try to build a tar.gz file with "R CMD build" than i get following message: (andqua@g4an:Rlibrary)R CMD INSTALL Test/ -l /Users/andqua/Documents/Rlibrary/ * Installing *binary* package 'Test' ... * DONE (Test) for my understanding this should be wrong because the package is no binary and if i try to load this package with "library(test)" i get the error message that the packagae is unknown. So i guss the problem is the fortran code (devweloped under win xp) but i have no idea to solve this problem because should can compile the code because g77 is installed and gcc also. Furthermore i have no administrative rights at this pc but that should be not a problem if i change add my own folder "Rlibrary" with ".libPaths()" to the known libraries. hope the descripion of my problem was more detailed now and helps to find a answer for my problem. best regards andreas
