Hi I bump on errors during install.packages(path2zoo.tar.gz,repos=null,type="source")

It installs some other packages while trying out zoo ("zoo_1.7-14.tar.gz") produces the following error

Installing package into ‘C:/Users/savvas/Documents/R/win-library/3.3’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified) * installing source package 'zoo' ... ** package 'zoo' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked ** libs

there appears the same problem if i install from command line r.exe cmd install "path2zoo.tar.gz"

any ideas?

same thing happens to forecast package :( sigh - Kefalas Savvas
You likely need to install Rtools -- these are needed to install many packages from sources on Windows. - Kevin Ushey
does that hold even if other packages are installed properly with the same command AND the packages i cannot install from offline I can from online? - Kefalas Savvas
It depends on the package -- if it contains code that requires compilation (C, C++ code), or a custom configure script (requiring a bash shell) then Rtools will be required. - Kevin Ushey
I downloaded rtools and installed them.No luck...This time i used RStudio instead of r.net just for checking what i get is the following error:Installing package into ‘C:/Users/savvas/Documents/R/win-library/3.3’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified) Warning in install.packages : package ‘C:/Users/savvas/Documents/Visual Studio 2010/Projects/SchedFlows V6Projects/r packages/forecast_7.3.zip’ is not available (for R version 3.3.0). I even tried to replace the package i got with download.packages with the ones downloaded by the R engine prior to automatic install.Still no luck: the error kept appearing - Kefalas Savvas

the problem lies with r version. it must be set to R-3.3.2 . when r-3.3.3 is used zoo,forecast and possibly other packages remain stubbornly uninstallable from an off-line source
