Hi,

when installing Calc on a fresh Window 7 system with a new R installation I recieve the following error:

alt text

The R-script used in the installation commits the following code: install.packages("DBI_0.2-7.zip".repos=NULL) However, to be correctly applied by R it shoud be recoded into: install.packages("DBI_0.2-7.zip".repos=NULL,type="source")

I can change the R install script but this won't help to finish the intallation.

How can we fix that issue und then run the installation?

Accepted answer

Hi,

thank you for reporting this.

It seems that with R-3.2 there's this problem. With R 3.1 the problem doesn't happen.

I have opened an issue https://github.com/openforis/calc/issues/9 .

However if you need to use Calc before the fix, please use R 3.1

Thank you,

Mino

Markdown text. Shortcuts: Ctrl+B bold, Ctrl+I italic, Ctrl+K link, Ctrl+E code, Ctrl+Shift+V paste as plain text. Tab indents list items and code; press Escape, then Tab, to leave the text box.

Shortcuts never apply while you type in a text field. Members can turn them off in their preferences.
