Dear R users,

Up to now, I only used precompiled packages. As I am working on vegetation
ecology, I would be interested in using a package not stored by CRAN called
labdsv_0.9-1.tar.gz and developped by Dave Roberts at the National Center
for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (unfortunately I did not find any
corresponding .zip file).

Although I tried to follow the proposed guidelines  to install such a file
in R, I did not succeed. I installed the library tools, the Perl and the
MinGW softwares, but I feel all this stuff is useless in my case (my
knowledge in informatic in so poor that I am reduced to "intuitions"!)

I know this is probably one of the most FAQ, but I did not find the answer
to my problem on the R-CRAN web site. Thank you in advance!

Have a good day.
