Dear all I have tried several times to make and install an R package that i created. However, whenever i get to the last step and try to install the package i get the following error: C:\Rtools\bin>rcmd install "C:\program files\R\R-2.9.2\bin\Test_1.0.tar.gz" Can't open perl script "C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-29~1.2/bin/install": No such file or directory i have re installed and double checked everything and downloaded everything i can about how to intall r packages. My conclusion is that the problem is in the path that the perl script is looking for on the web it says that dos path can be abbreviated using ~1, however what does not make sense is the R-29~1.2 the version of R i am running is R-2.9.2 and there is a folder by that name etc.. i do not undertand why it says abbreviated R-29~1.2. Is this the problem and how do i correct it. many thanks Omar
