Thanks. I didn't know that.  I just found it in Brian Ripley's page.  Is this 
the  cran extras?


Right, and under Windows it is a default repository.

Thanks. One more question.  If I use install.packsges, do I need to install 
Rtool or utils package is sufficient?


It depends on how demanding the package is. For the one you mentioned, you will 
need the Rtools, since C/C++ sources are to be compiled. And it won't work out 
of the box, since some manual tweaks are required - at least the last time I 
tried.

Do you know that the package is available from CRAN extras if form of a Windows binary? 
install.packages() without the type="source"  argument should work right away.

Hi,

I'd like to ask a installation question.  I want to install a source code
through the following command,
R CMD INSTALL RDCOMClient


This is intended to be used in the shell of your OS (assuming Windows given the 
package), not in R.

 From within R use install.packages("RDCOMClient", type="source") if you really 
want to install from source.

but get  Error: unexpected symbol in "r cmd"

Please let know if I miss anything.  I my utils package loaded.

Thanks,
Richard
