Hi, Following your advice, I install R tools from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/ Rtools215.exe <http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/Rtools215.exe>
Files are automatically installed here: C:\Rtools I run the code again and get the message Creating directories ... Error in package.skeleton(list = c("f", "g", "d", "e"), name = "test1pkg", : directory 'D:/R/pkgtest/test1pkg' already exists > R CMD build test1pkg Error: unexpected symbol in "R CMD" Is there anything else I need to do ?
