It looks as though that package (or something with the same name, available here: http://compbio.med.harvard.edu/Supplements/ChIP-seq/) has not been written in a way that will work on Windows. So you should try it on a system that is supported. Otherwise, you can writing a configure script that works on Windows the way the the configure script in it works on Unix, but you'll probably need a lot of work to get it going.

If that's not an option, it may be possible that what you need in fPortfolioSolver doesn't depend on Symphony; you could try removing the dependency from the DESCRIPTION file for fPortfolioSolver and see if anything still works.

Re: [R] Installing a Package tar.gz in windows
Thanks Duncan, I already installed Rtools but I don't know well how to sort it out. I tried the command you gave me and got the following error: install.packages(fPortfolioSolver.tar.gz, type=source, repos=NULL) Installing package(s) into C:\Users\Hp\Documents/R/win-library/2.12 (as lib is unspecified) Aviso: invalid package 'fPortfolioSolver.tar.gz' Error: ERROR: no packages specified Mensajes de aviso perdidos 1: running command 'C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-212~1.2/bin/i386/R CMD INSTALL -l C:\Users\Hp\Documents/R/win-library/2.12 fPortfolioSolver.tar.gz' had status 1 2: In install.packages(fPortfolioSolver.tar.gz, type = source, : installation of package 'fPortfolioSolver.tar.gz' had non-zero exit status Do you know what might be going on or where I can find a manual of how to use Rtools?

Thank you The likely problem is that you didn't give the full path to the tar.gz file. If it is not in the working directory, that install.packages command will fail. An easy way to get the path is to use filename - file.choose() which brings up a Windows dialog; go search for the file, and its name will be saved in the filename variable. Then use install.packages(filename, type=source, repos=NULL).

Re: [R] Installing a Package tar.gz in windows
Duncan I have been trying to work out the solution you gave me but I haven't really got to sort it out. I tried first the option with install packages and got this: filename - file.choose() filename [1] C:\\Users\\Hp\\Documents\\R\\win-library\\2.12\\Rsymphony_0.1-12.tar.gz install.packages(filename, type=source, repos=NULL) Installing package(s) into C:\Users\Hp\Documents/R/win-library/2.12 (as lib is unspecified) * installing *source* package 'Rsymphony' ... ERROR: configuration failed for package 'Rsymphony' * removing 'C:/Users/Hp/Documents/R/win-library/2.12/Rsymphony' Mensajes de aviso perdidos 1: running command 'C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-212~1.2/bin/i386/R CMD INSTALL -l C:\Users\Hp\Documents/R/win-library/2.12 C:/Users/Hp/Documents/R/win-library/2.12/Rsymphony_0.1-12.tar.gz' had status 1 2: In install.packages(filename, type = source, repos = NULL) : installation of package 'C:/Users/Hp/Documents/R/win-library/2.12/Rsymphony_0.1-12.tar.gz' had non-zero exit status Then about the CMD window I also tried to use it but I cannot get it to recognize the command for me. It always tells me R it is an unrecognized command. I am new to all this about tar.gz files and running commands directly in the CMD windowf, so could you please be more specific with me.
