No, it is not.  For pure R, you can get by without the Windows toolset
(though I am not sure about things like byte-compiling).  That said,


Yes, even byte-compiling, although that is not really supported in 
2.13.x.



"getting the toolset" basically just involves downloading and double
clicking a nicely bundled program Duncan Murdoch supplies so it takes
virtually nil effort.

Re: [R] R 2.13.1 can't find package binaries on R-Forge

2011-07-31 Thread Michael Friendly
Thanks to all who replied to this. I do have the Windows tool set, and 
none of these packages required
fancy stuff, or contained compiled code, so install.packages(..., 
type="source") was an effective one-time solution.


Still, David has, I think, found the source of the problem I encountered:


Is this just an R-Forge problem?

I'm not informed about the workings of r-forge, but did you notice 
that there were no packages in that bin/windows directory whose 
alphabetical collation would be after lowercase "i". That seems to 
suggest some sort of system error encountered before the next package 
after "ipreds" was completed.


On the project page the binaries for windows are listed as "offline".

Right, and just installing the Windows tools is probably quicker than

contain compiled code.

alphabetical collation would be after lowercase "i". That seems to  
suggest some sort of system error encountered before the next package  
after "ipreds" was completed.


On the project page the binaries for windows are listed as "offline".

https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=431

I don't see any C modules in the source. Have you tried installing  
from source?

The source packages are there, but not
the windows binaries.  The log files
are uninformative:

Re: [R] R 2.13.1 can't find package binaries on R-Forge

Hi Michael,
The easiest thing to do is just install the source package with

install.packages("p3d", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org";, type = "source")

You'll need install some prerequisite software first (if you've not
already done so). See
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#The-Windows-toolset

Best,
Ista
