I am trying to build a Windows zip file of a private package by
C:/Program/R/R-3.0.1/bin/x64/Rcmd INSTALL --build --library=.
epigen_0.1.tar.gz
but I get errors like
1: package 'datasets' in options("defaultPackages") was not found
and, finally,
Error in normalsizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) :
path[1]="C:/Program/R/R-3.0.1/library/tools": Atkomst nekad
(Access denied)
This is on a Swedish version of Windows 7. I noticed that the R
installer called the installation directory "Program Files" instead of
"Program" (despite my effort to change it), so I tried the same thing
with an English version of Windows 7 (on another machine), and there
everything went as expected.
I installed R on both machines today so the setups should be identical,
except for the languages. What can be wrong? Can it be a language/path
thing?
Thanks for any insight!
