Dear Sarosh, As I understand it, RODBC isn't useful on non-Windows systems, since the necessary ODBC drivers aren't available. (Someone will correct me, I'm sure, if I don't have that entirely straight.) The RODBC package is used in the Rcmdr to read Excel and some other files under Windows; in the latest version of the Rcmdr, you won't even see this menu item in non-Windows systems.
You should, I believe, be able to install and use the Rcmdr package on your system without RODBC. 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 Sarosh Jamal > Sent: Friday, September 29, 2006 11:53 AM > To: R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch > Subject: [R] RODBC ERROR on Rcmdr install > > > I've been trying to install the RODBC dependency for Rcmdr on > Rv2.4 on a SunOS9 system. > > It claims not to be able to create gcc output files > (executables) for the installation. > > This is puzzling since I've been able to install other > packages with the same PATH variables and all. > > Feedback would be much appreciated.
