[R] install issue with survey package?

[Alexander Nervedi]

Hi Michael,

I think you are spot on. Haven't resolved the issue yet. Here is what i get:

> utils:::menuInstallLocal()
* installing *source* package 'survey' ...
** package 'survey' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** R
** data
** inst
** preparing package for lazy loading
** help

2: In install.packages(files[tarballs], .libPaths()[1L], repos = NULL,  :
  installation of package ‘D:/downloads/survey_3.34.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

I think i might have to reinstall R in the root directly (rather than under program files) so that there are no spaces in path names.

Thanks for the pointer,

best wishes,
Alnerdi

Dear Al

It looks like the problem may be the embedded space in Al Nerdi

What happens if you manually download the tar.gz file, put it somewhere
convenient and then from the commend line run

R CMD INSTALL survey_3.34.tar.gz

You will need to make sure R is on your path first
