[Roxygen-devel] Rcmd roxygen?

[Bengoechea Bartolomé Enrique (SIES 73)]

Yes, it finally worked by downloading the file and renaming it to roxygen.sh. Rtools were available when I installed Roxygen, so something likely went wrong.

Thanks Manuel & Tobias for your help.

Best,

Enrique

and save it as roxygen.sh; otherwise you will obtain an error message

Can't exec /bin/sh at C:\R\R-2.8.1/bin/roxygen line 1.

(tested under Windows XP as virtualbox guest OS on ubuntu host)

calling R CMD roxygen.sh on a package then works as does R CMD roxygen on GNU/Linux.
