Dear all I am trying to build a package, and get the error message: ""packaging into .tar.gz failed"". I have also installed the same package directly from a locally created zip file. In this case, the package is put correctly under C:\R\R-2.15.0\library. However, when I check the package, I get another error message, stating "ERROR: compilation failed for package". I use a 64 bit computer. Before attempting the installation, I had created the following path: PATH = C:\R\R-2.15.0\bin\x64; c:\R\Rtools\bin; C:\R\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin64; C:\MiKTeX\miktex\miktex\bin; c:\windows; c:\windows\system32; C:\Windows\SysWOW64; C:\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 5. I have re-installed today the most recent version of Rtools. Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong here?
Unsufficient information to know that, but the PATH above is incorrect, you must not have spaces between the separate directories.
In addition, we need full information what you tried when you said R CMD build and how the directory looked like. Do you have write permission in the parent directory etc.
