Well, because QRMlib interfaces C routines (IIRC), the error message is pretty indicative, i.e. these routines cannot be compiled. Now, without further information there is not much to recommend, but:
1) check your RTools installation 2) Ask the package maintainer (cc'ed) when he will re-release QRMlib on CRAN, be patient until the binaries have been populated and use install.packages() Best, Bernhard -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] Im Auftrag von DT54321 Gesendet: Mittwoch, 29. Februar 2012 14:17 An: r-help@r-project.org Betreff: Re: [R] Installing package QRMlib I wouldn't see myself as an experienced R user soI would appreciate if anyone is able to give me a clear set of instructions on how to install and load QRMlib. The steps I've followed are: 1: Download 'QRMlib_1.4.5.1.tar.gz' from http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/QRMlib/ to my local folder. 2. QRMlib depends on methods, fCalendar, fEcofin, mvtnorm, chron,its,Hmisc so I install all of these. I install teh following from within RStuidos using the Packages tab: a) mvtnorm b) chron c) its d) Hmisc e) methods And download the tar.gz files from the archive for: A) fCalendar b) fEcofin In R, I also use the install.packages with type = "source" and repos = NULL to install the packages listed in A) and B) 3. In R, then enter iinstall.packages(file_name, type ="source", repos = NULL) where file_name is the directory for QRMlib_1.4.5.1.tar.gz. It outputs the following error: Installing package(s) into ‘C:/Program Files/R/R-2.14.1/library’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified) * installing *source* package 'QRMlib' ... ** Creating default NAMESPACE file ** libs ERROR: compilation failed for package 'QRMlib' * removing 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.14.1/library/QRMlib' * restoring previous 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.14.1/library/QRMlib' Warning in install.packages : running command 'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-214~1.1/bin/i386/R CMD INSTALL -l "C:/Program Files/R/R-2.14.1/library" "my_local_folder/QRMlib_1.4.5.1.tar.gz"' had status 1 Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘Pmy_local_folder/QRMlib_1.4.5.1.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status Please help! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Installing-package-QRMlib-tp4425269p4431453.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ***************************************************************** Confidentiality Note: The information contained in this message, and any attachments, may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
