Hi,
I'm having some problems installing packages from the source files on Windows, using R CMD INSTALL pkg. I'm running WindowsXP, and I've followed the instructions as per the README.packages file from the R installation. I ran into a hitch, with the install failing following a "hhc: not found" warning. I figured out that this was related to the html help workshop. Adding the HHW folder to the Path variable didn't help. README.packages mentions that HHW should be in the same drive as the other tools, which it is, but in a different folder. So I put a copy of hhc.exe in the Rtools/bin folder and everything seems to have worked out.
My question is, is this going to cause me problems later on? Should I transfer all the HHW files to the Rtools/bin? Is there a better way to arrange the HHW files?
I'm installing from source files instead of using the automated GUI feature because I want to read the original code to see how experienced users write functions. I'm using version 2.0.1 Patched (2005-04-16).
Thanks for your time,
Tyler
