Hi, I am trying to run the command: R CMD INSTALL -l mypath mypackagename from within R (Windows XP) using system() and get the following error:
ARGUMENT 'CMD INSTALL -l D:/R/JMB.LIBS jmb.test' __ignored__ Fatal error: you must specify '--save', '--no-save' or '--vanilla' My function contains these 3 lines: setwd("D:/R/R.pkgs") # path to files set using package.skeleton() commands <- shQuote("CMD INSTALL -l D:/R/JMB.LIBS jmb.test") system(paste('"R"',commands)) Can anyone tell me where I have gone astray? I suspect the problem lies in quoting the strings. The command (R CMD INSTALL etc.) runs OK if I run it in a windows shell. Thank you.
