In command prompt, I direct to the following directory: C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.1\bin
Now I enter: R CMD check "my_local_folder\QRMlib_1.4.5.1.tar.gz" The following appears: * using log directory 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.14.1/bin/QRMlib.Rcheck' * using R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22) * using platform: i386-pc-mingw32 (32-bit) * using session charset: ISO8859-1 * checking for file 'QRMlib/DESCRIPTION' ... OK * this is package 'QRMlib' version '1.4.5.1' * checking package dependencies ... OK * checking if this is a source package ... OK * checking if there is a namespace ... NOTE As from R 2.14.0 all packages need a namespace. One will be generated on installation, but it is better to handcraft a NAMESPACE file: R CMD build will produce a suitable starting point. * checking for .dll and .exe files ... OK * checking whether package 'QRMlib' can be installed ... ERROR Installation failed. See 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.14.1/bin/QRMlib.Rcheck/00install.out' for details. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Installing-package-QRMlib-tp4425269p4428988.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
