it out. I tried the command you gave me and got the following error:
> install.packages("fPortfolioSolver.tar.gz", type="source", repos=NULL)
Installing package(s) into C:\Users\Hp\Documents/R/win-library/2.12
(as lib is unspecified)
Aviso: invalid package 'fPortfolioSolver.tar.gz'

status 1
2: In install.packages("fPortfolioSolver.tar.gz", type = "source", :

Do you know what might be going on or where I can find a manual of how to
use Rtools? Thank you
