Assuming you have installed Rtools and have the R bin directory and the Rtools bin directory on your path cd to.wherever.your.tar.gz.file.is.located Rcmd INSTALL nlme_3.1-9.96.tar.gz Alternately, at http://batchfiles.googlecode.com is a file Rcmd.bat that you can call which will find Rtools and R in the registry and then run Rcmd.exe so you don't have to add anything to your path. In that case you just place Rcmd.bat somewhere on your existing path and don't have to change your path at all. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
