R experts,

I created a package X for R 1.8 that I want to re-install for 2.0.1.  In
addition to downloading/installing Perl and Rtools as directed in the
README.packages file and ensuring that they appear in my path, I have
modified X's DESCRIPTION file to include all required fields.
Additionally I have deleted  the "built" line since the  make process
will add that.  The source contains no Fortran/C/C++ and resides in   .
R/rw2000/src/library

 

>From .R/rw2000/src/gnuwin32>  make X -X seems to run the make utility,
but the package is never installed.

 

In R 1.8  manually added the build line and copied the package directory
into the library tree and library(X) worked without a formal install (As
you would guess this was a work-around for my earlier and evidently
persistent lack of success in my package installation endeavors.).  The
same work-around approach seems not to work with 2.0.

 

Your suggestions are appreciated.

 

Thank you!
