Hi, I was attempting to prepare a package for use with bioconductor and R. I prepared the individual files but didn't have success in making it as a package and run it. Specifically the command R CMD INSTALL packagename did not work in windows. Can anyone kindly suggest a procedure for preparing a package. Meanwhile I did work around this. I simply loaded my data tables using read.csv and then saved the image. Recalling the image works perfectly fine but I guess this is not a good portable solution. with kind regards Ramu Dr. S.

First, always include sessionInfo() in your messages to the list, just to get those details on the table. Second, have you installed R tools for Windows? See the R for Windows FAQ here for details: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html You need to do that to install packages from source on Windows. Third, you will probably want to read the relevant sections of the manual here: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html Finally, once you are satisfied that things should be working, if you still have an error, feel free to send back the commands and the error output you got.
