Dear Sara, It looks to me as if there are three problems here: (1) Is the zip file for the package really at "c:/ProgramFiles/R/rw2011/library/lpSolve_1.1.9"? That is, isn't there a space in "Program Files"? (2) You have to specify repos=NULL to install from a local zip file, as ?install.packages tells you. (3) You don't seem to be using the destdir argument correctly; you can omit it.
Why not avoid all this and just use the R for Windows menus: Packages -> Install package(s) from local zip files? I hope this helps, John -------------------------------- John Fox Department of Sociology McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario Canada L8S 4M4 905-525-9140x23604 http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox -------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sara Mouro > Sent: Friday, October 14, 2005 4:45 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [R] zip package > > Dear all > > I can not understand how to install the package > lpsolve_1.1.9.zip > > I have read the FAQ and the help pages carefully, but > it still not clear for me. > > I have tried the following (and obtained the respective error > messages): > > > >install.packages("c:/ProgramFiles/R/rw2011/library/lpSolve_1. 1.9",destdir=" > c:/ProgramFiles/R/rw2011/library/lpSolve") > Mensagem de aviso: > no package 'c:/Program > Files/R/rw2011/library/lpSolve_1.1.9' at the repositories in: > download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available = available, > > > >install.packages("lpSolve_1.1.9",destdir="c:/ProgramFiles/R/r w2011/libr > >ary/ > lpSolve") > Erro em download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, > available = available, : > 'destdir' is not a directory > > >install.packages("lpSolve_1.1.9",destdir=NULL) > Mensagem de aviso: > no package 'lpSolve_1.1.9' at the > repositories in: > download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available = available, > > Could you please tell me how to do that or when can I > find a simple example of that kind of installation? > > Thank you so much and sorry for such basic question. > > Sara Mouro > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide! > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
