I've tried this many times but the R installation does not work.
I keep getting this error ...
Warning in install.packages :
error 1 in extracting from zip file
Warning in install.packages :
cannot open compressed file 'gshell_1.1-0.tgz/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory'
Error in install.packages : cannot open the connection
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
gshell_1.1-0.tgz is present and has a valid DESCRIPTION.
but perhaps for Windows(??) a zip file is needed. I'll need to check this on a Windows platform (the distro build was done on a Mac). If so I'll add that to a forthcoming 1.1RC2 release - there are a couple of Mac Mavericks/Java 7 bugs to workaround but that should be available shortly.
An alternative route would be to build the RStudio projects locally - open then 'clean and build' gshell and waterloo (in that order). That will add them to the underlying R environment and should run painlessly.

Thank you second install option works well. I was using Windows 7.

Great.
1.1RC2 is now posted and I have added the zips using a Windows RStudio build.
