Pre-compiled binary packages for R-2.4.x for Windows ==================================================== ********************************************************************** ** This collection is no longer updated. Please upgrade to R>=2.5.1 ** ** Last update: June 28, 2006. ** ********************************************************************** This collection is unsupported. Please compile from sources yourself in case of any problems. Please ask the package maintainer in case of any questions. Building binary versions of the contributed packages on CRAN has been automated. Binary packages will be available on CRAN about 1-3 days after the sources have been published. Please do *not* submit binary versions of any packages, because that needs manual intervention by this collection's maintainer (hence it is time consuming). Some packages have been working in a former version, but do no longer compile on Windows or do not pass "R CMD check". The last `working' versions are still available in the repository, but outdated. Packages that do not compile out of the box or do not pass "R CMD check" with "OK" or at least a "WARNING" will *not* be published. The results of "R CMD check" are given in CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/checkSummaryWin.html In case of a "WARNING" or an "ERROR", please check the corresponding check.log files in subdirectory ./check. Possible reasons for not-compiling or not-passing the checks: - I do not have some other software the package depends on - The package needs manual configuration - Any other reason I do not want to discover Although the packages RMySQL, ROracle, and snow pass make check, it seems to be dangerous to distribute them: I do not have the software available these packages depend on. RMySQL is available at http://stat.bell-labs.com/RS-DBI/download, provided by its maintainer, David A. James. The packages gsl, ncdf, rgdal, RNetCDF, udunits, and xgobi do not build out of the box. Nevertheless these are available at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.4/ kindly provided by Professor Brian D. Ripley. The packages fork, GDD, gtkDevice, nice, rcdd, RGrace, Rmpi, rpart.permutation, rpvm, RScaLAPACK, rsprng, snowFT and taskPR also require additional libraries / software to build on Windows I do not have (and may not even exist in versions for Windows). The packages extRemes, iplots, mimR, RWeka, RWinEdt, SciViews, sound, and spectrino are checked with "--install:fake" for various reasons - most of them due to GUI interactions. The packages aster, mlmRev, np, sna, tgp, and twang are checked with "--install:fake" due to their long lasting checks. Uwe Ligges Uwe.Ligges@R-project.org
