Thanks for pointing that out.
Yes, the link on the package web site was for 0.2-1 and
that was the one used to build the binary for Windows.
Now updated in both places and the binary repository will
give 0.2-2.
How to find the version of an installed package?

Dear Duncan
On my home computer I was able to use install.packages("RGoogleDocs",
repos = "http://www.omegahat.org/R";)
But, alas it would not read the data in the spreadsheet. It went back to
its nasty ways
Error in !includeEmpty : invalid argument type
That is what I was getting with version 0.2-1.You then sent me link to
0.2-2 (in source code) which is what worked.
Is it possible that that the windows binary version you put in omegahat
was 0.2-1 and not 0.2-2?
I did not know how to tell what version had been installed.

Boy oh boy that process of getting source to binary was super
painful. Now
that I have the package as binary I can share the whole folder
with my
coworker and she is able to use RGoogleDocs. I intend to use the
same
process for the other two windows machines that I use. I really
do not want
to go through the same installation and path hassles all over again.
Should I post my directory containing the binary files somewhere
so that
others do not have to experience pain. Does etiquette dictate
that I should
post the directory to help other or does etiquette dictate that
it is Duncan
Temple Lang's code and thus it his prerogative to distribute his
work as he
wishes?
Etiquette is one thing and the license another.
Both encourage you to help others and make the
binary available to others.
And indeed, I hope that Windows users do build binaries
for others and remove the additional work from those
who provide the software in the first place.
Having seen this thread today, I did put a binary
version of RGoogleDocs on the Omegahat repository
so
install.packages("RGoogleDocs", repos = "http://www.omegahat.org/R";)
should install it and, if I had had time earlier, saved you the hardship
of building the binary. Sorry to do it so soon after.

Its safer just to temporarily add it to your path.
Unfortunately Rtools has a find command that conflicts with
the find command in Windows so if you add the Rtools
bin directory to your path permanently then you could
find other programs stop working. That actually happened
to me once and it took the longest time until I discovered
that Rtools was the culprit.
If you follow the advice I gave you normally won't have
that problem.

You need to install the toolset, and let the

Follow the link. If Windows can't find tar,
your toolset is installed
incorrectly.

R CMD INSTALL works in Windows to
install source packages if you have
the
source-code package files (option
“Source Package Installation Files”
in
the
installer) and toolset (see The Windows
toolset<file:///C:/Program%20Files/R/R-2.9.1/doc/manual/R-admin.html#The-Windows-toolset>)
installed. Installation of binary
packages must be done by
install.packages
. R CMD INSTALL --help will tell you the
current options under
Windows
(which differ from those on a
Unix-alike): in particular there is a
choice
of the types of documentation to be
installed.

Should I use my 7-zip to open up

Where should I be doing this?
For instance can I do it all in my

do it in C:\Program

should I manually create C:\Program

Yes, you assumed correctly. I am
using Windows XP.

this thread but:
1. if

a source distribution (as
opposed to built source)
then the first line renames
it so
that its not the same name
as the built file about to
be created.
The second line detars it
into the RGoogleDocs
directory. The
third
builds
the built source file,
RGoogleDocs_0.2-2.tar.gz.
The fourth
installs the built source
file into R. I've assumed
Windows.
If you are on Linux replace
rename with mv.
rename
RGoogleDocs_0.2-2.tar.gz
RgoogleDocs_0.2.2-src.tar.gz
tar xvfz
RgoogleDocs_0.2.2-src.tar.gz
Rcmd build RGoogleDocs
Rcmd INSTALL
RGoogleDocs_0.2-2.tar.gz
or
2. if
RGoogleDocs_0.2-2.tar.gz is
already a built source file then
you
can just issue the last of
the above lines and don't need
the others.

Do you mean the
