your advice to use R CMD INSTALL source.library
It's a *package*, not a library.

Re: [R] updating a local package
Essential infrastructure work has been done in the meantime, both ion
the documentation system and on the location of binaries.
That means you really need to reinstall the package and hence you need
to start with a source package.
Details for installing from source are given in the manual "R
Installation and Administartion".

Hi folks
I have inherited a package which was created before release 2.10 and I
need to have it working in release 2.12
There is a folder containing the Man, Data and R subfolders, and the
description
file, and there is also the corresponding zip file.
I can install the package from the zip file, but when I try to load it I
get the message :-
Error: package was built before R 2.10.0: please re-install
it
If I try to rebuild the zip file using
C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.0\bin\R.exe CMD build
my.library.folder
I get pages and pages of warnings and error messages, many of which seem
to refer
to the Man folder.
Having never built a formal package before, I'm a bit stuck for what to
do next ...
Presumably the expected structure of the folders has changed but the
documentation
on packages looks scary - can anyone suggest the best way forward - even
if
its only RTFM !
thanks Bob Kinley
