Dear listers, I am trying to install RcppBDT_0.2.1 on my Windows machine using the function install.packages("./RcppBDT_0.2.1.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source"). Since this package is not like most of other packages in that it requires Rcpp and boost, I have installed Rcpp and boost first, and executed the install.packages function.
Then, I got the following error message: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *** arch - i386 ERROR: compilation failed for package 'RcppBDT' * removing 'C:/Users/skim13/Documents/R/win-library/2.14/RcppBDT' Warning in install.packages : running command 'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-214~1.1/bin/x64/R CMD INSTALL -l "C:/Users/skim13/Documents/R/win-library/2.14" "RcppBDT_0.2.1.tar.gz"' had status 1 Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘RcppBDT_0.2.1.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status ----------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems Rcpp is automatically detected by PKG_LIBS set in Makevars and Makevars.win and the problem looks to be boost. But I have placed boost under C:/Users/skim13/Documents/R/win-library/2.14/boost_1_51, the default library folder and set BOOSTLIB accordingly (BOOSTLIB=C:/Users/skim13/Documents/R/win-library/2.14/boost_1_51). Can you please tell me what I have to do to make it work? I have tried this on my Mac and Linux, and it is successfully installed on both. This makes me wonder even more why it cannot be installed on Windows. Thanks, HJ. ______________________________________________ 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.
