Dear R users,
With package.skeleton() i have produced successfully my .Rd´s, ...
Now i will run Rcmd check on ..\R\bin\
But Rcmd check (and build) on my Windows XP does not work.
It`s a problem with "perl".
(Translated i get the message:
The instruction Perl is either wrongly written or could not not be found.)
In help("check") I found this:
"These may not work correctly under Windows 95/98/ME because of
problems Perl has launching programs on those limited OSes."
And in the R-devel I found following from Prof. Brian Ripley:
"2) On Windows, we did hope to make Rcmd check the standard way.
Unfortunately, a whole series Perl builds were broken, so make
pkgcheck-foo is still preferred."
But i can not find something like "pkgcheck" and Rcmd does not work.
(I use R version 1.9.0 on Windows XP, IBM Computer)
Can anybody help me please?
Regards,
Matthias
