more precisely, lasso2 fails make check on Windows when compiled without modifications, as mentioned in CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/1.7/ReadMe .
Uwe, do you think it would be helpful to display this information from Rgui? That is, put the whole list of packages into the menu, but mark some of them as unavailable and display the explanation if those are selected? I'd guess lots of Rgui users never look at the binary directory themselves, they let Rgui do it.
Good idea.
Probably easier: Everything as is, but as one uses "Install ...." or "Update packages from CRAN", just display the ReadMe in a pager (needs ~2 lines of code). What about Bioconductor?
Anyway, the question arises what to do with the functions install.packages(), update.packages()? People might use it in BATCH mode or from Rterm ...
