Ok, this might be really obvious, but I finally managed. I am using R on Windows at the moment, so I had to download the Rtools from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/Rtools.txt so that i can compile and install tar.gz packages. then I compiled the .db and installed it using R CMD INSTALL. I still don t know how to compile windows binaries... but well it works this way. thanks again for your help ! kind regards mayra On Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 6:59 PM, Sean Davis wrote: > > > On Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 12:55 PM, Mayra Eduardoff < > mayra.eduardoff@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I ve read the help and tried before and it is not working... >> >> the db is in my working directoy >> >> install.packages("zfv2.db", pkgs="zfv2.db",repos=NULL) >> > > install.packages(pkgs="zfv2.db.tar.gz",repos=NULL) > > You will need to tar and compress the package directory, I think. > > Sean > > > >> >> get a german error message, so I guess that won't help >> >> Fehler in if (ok) { : Fehlender Wert, wo TRUE/FALSE nötig ist >> >> >> >> >> On Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 6:44 PM, Sean Davis wrote: >> >>> >>> >>> On Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 12:34 PM, Mayra Eduardoff < >>> mayra.eduardoff@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>>> thanks for the quick answer, yes, but how do I install it ? >>>> install.package ? but what is my repos ?
