Dear R users,Thanks.
Up to now, I only used precompiled packages. As I am working on vegetation
ecology, I would be interested in using a package not stored by CRAN called
labdsv_0.9-1.tar.gz and developped by Dave Roberts at the National Center
for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (unfortunately I did not find any
corresponding .zip file).
Although I tried to follow the proposed guidelines to install such a file
in R, I did not succeed. I installed the library tools, the Perl and the
MinGW softwares, but I feel all this stuff is useless in my case (my
knowledge in informatic in so poor that I am reduced to "intuitions"!)
I know this is probably one of the most FAQ, but I did not find the answer
to my problem on the R-CRAN web site. Thank you in advance!
Have a good day.
Well, you tell us about the existance of an R package with a specific name, which you cannot compile using the given instructions.
So, what answer do you expect?
Possible causes:
- the package depends on anything not available on your system (or not found by the package)
- the package is incompatible with your version of R
- you have misinterpreted the instructions
- you have not followed the isntrructions exactly
- ...
Please tell us *relevant* facts, we cannot help without information!
In an attack of kindness I (and Google) found http://labdsv.nr.usu.edu/splus_R/labdsv_0.9-1.tar.gz
That package is not a complete R package! It's missing its DESCRIPTION file (and others)!
You might want to contact the author / maintainer or fix that package yourself.
