[R] Error in building ROracle in Windows with R 2.6.2 and Oracle 10g.

[Ajay DAS]

Hi,

I am new to R. I need to communicate with Oracle from R program in windows
xp. So I am planning to use ROracle. I downloaded the ROracle src from the
site below:

      http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ROracle/index.html

I am using R version 2.6.2 and Oracle 10g. I followed the instructions to
build ROracle. When I try to compile the source src/Makefile.win I get the
following error:

      NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make
'c:\\PROGRA~1\\R\\R-2.6.2\\src\\gnuwin32\\Rdll.lib'

I could figure out what is the purpose of 'Rdll.lib' and where am I
supposed to get it from. I do not see that file in the gnuwin32 directory.
How would I create the file ? I am  stuck now. Can you suggest me what
should I do to get ROracle to compile in R 2.6.2 with Oracle 10g ?

Thanks,
Ajay.
