Hi
I'm trying to compile R packages on my vista (I'm very new on vista...). I installed Rtools, RExcel on a specific folder: c:\Rtools and gave full access. Unfortunately, I am still unable to compile any packages (may be still because of the security properties of vista). I checked several mailing list/forums/website but I did not found any solution. Does anybody have the same problem and found a solution? I've got the following error: ################################## R CMD install testPackage installing to 'D:\Rtmp' ---------- Making package testPackage ------------ adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing R files installing inst files find: `D:/Rtmp/ testPackage /doc': Permission denied find: `D:/Rtmp/ testPackage /unitTests': Permission denied make[2]: *** [D:/Rtmp/ testPackage /inst] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make: *** [pkg- testPackage] Error 2 *** Installation of testPackage failed *** Removing 'D:/Rtmp/ testPackage Can't read D:/Rtmp/ testPackage /doc: Invalid argument at c:\Rtools\R\R-2.8.0/bin/i nstall line 411 Can't remove directory D:/Rtmp/ testPackage /doc: Directory not empty at c:\Rtools\ R\R-2.8.0/bin/install line 411 Can't read D:/Rtmp/ testPackage /unitTests: Invalid argument at c:\Rtools\R\R-2.8.0 /bin/install line 411 Can't remove directory D:/Rtmp/ testPackage /unitTests: Directory not empty at c:\R tools\R\R-2.8.0/bin/install line 411 Can't remove directory D:/Rtmp/ testPackage: Directory not empty at c:\Rtools\R\R- 2.8.0/bin/install line 411 Restoring previous 'D:/Rtmp/ testPackage' mv: cannot move `D:/Rtmp/00LOCK/ testPackage 'to `D:/Rtmp/ testPackage': Directory n ot empty Many thansk for your help.
