Thanks to Andy Liaw and prof.Ripley for their comments. I finally managed my function set work without need for proper installation. However I must try it sometimes.
I got tools from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/tools.zip but I did not install Pearl yet. I tried make pkg-fun which resulted in sequence of errors which I corrected according what I was told by screen and documentation (best thanks to all who provided it) and finally I end with 1. modified DESCRIPTION file 2. functional set of my functions 3. error message perl: not found So next step will be trying to install perl (if I am allowed by suspicious network administrator) and completing the whole installation. Thanks again.
