[R] install package snow
Hi, I have difficulty in installing package snow from CRAN. Somehow, this package is not shown up in the available package list when I tried to use the GUI interface. So I have to go to CRAN to download the source file: snow_0.2-1.tar.gz. Then I tried to install it using the following command: install.packages(repos=NULL, pkgs='C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\snow_0.2-1.tar.gz', type='source', lib = 'c:/program files/r/rw2010/library/') Warning message: installation of package 'C:Documents and Settingsyzhang24Desktopsnow_0.2-1.tar.gz' had non-zero exit status in: install.packages(repos = NULL, pkgs = C:Documents and Settingsyzhang24Desktopsnow_0.2-1.tar.gz, What's the problem here, and how should I handle it?

Re: [R] install package snow
I think for 'snow' you need to download the source and build it yourself. I assume you are on Windows (you didn't say!). 'snow' depends on external programs so it would seem unwise to have a binary package on CRAN. -roger Steve Adams wrote: Hi, I have difficulty in installing package snow from CRAN.

Re: [R] install package snow
Please do read the FAQ Q7.8. Once you have followed that, it should install from the sources (it does for me). However, to make it work you need other things which are non-trivial to get working on Windows: see http://www.stat.uiowa.edu/~luke/R/cluster/cluster.html for the lower-level interfaces. I think snow over PVM has been reported to work under Windows, but I don't know about the others. There is no binary version of the package, as testing that would be tedious at best.
