problem when installing a R package

[pmouilhade]

Hello all and happy new year !!!

I had a package that worked fine but since I switched to R 2.15.2, It is not compatible anymore (I have the error message: not installed for 'arch=i386').

I have therefore updated Rtools 2.16 and Path variables as follow:
PATH=C:\Rtools\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C\Rtools\MinGW\bin;C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-2.15.2\bin\i38
6;C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-2.15.2\include;C:\PROGRA~1\MIKTEX~2.9\miktex\bin;C:\WINDOWS;C:
\WINDOWS\system32;C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin;C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin32

When I run the following cmd I have an error
C:\tmp>R CMD INSTALL --build DistributionS4


* installing to library 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.2/library'
* installing *source* package 'DistributionS4' ...
** libs
cygwin warning:

  CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.

installation dans C:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.2/library/DistributionS4/libs/i386
** R

** help

Fatal error: cannot open file 'C:\DOCUME~1\p-mouilhade\Local': Permission denied


ERREUR : loading failed
* removing 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.2/library/DistributionS4'
* restoring previous 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.2/library/DistributionS4'

I don't know what's going on, why permission is denied and why is it trying to reach such a directory (which by the way exists).

Can somebody help me ???

Many thanks in advance

Hi everybody,

I have tried the following command to skip the load test:
R CMD INSTALL --build --no-test-load DistributionS4

Now the error is the excution of "zip" failed...

Any clue ?

I'd suggest to do what this warning tells you.

Not sure what this directory is about and why it is accessed, but you
could check if you have some permission problems in that folder.

You can turn off the checks for loading to get an installation for
testing purposes, see
R CMD INSTALL --help

I missed this message before.

So your Rtools are not properly installed?
