What is a "compiled zip"? There is a warning against using that term in section 1 of the Writing R Extensions documentation, along with a discussion of why it is ambiguous at best. Can you read that and clarify your statement?
Since you make this assertion that R CMD INSTALL --build does not do what you want it to, I am not sure we are speaking of the same kind of file. If we are, then you may not have your system configured correctly. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... ..... Go Live...
