将 R 包从 32 位安装到 64 位

Question

I have this R package (MRwarping_1.0.zip). It installs on the 32bit windows PC of a colleague but fails to install on my 64bit ubuntu (and gives a very strange error message). I was wondering whether

• I can install it (on my 64 bit ubuntu).
• if yes, what are the requiered steps to do that

Answer 1

MRwarping_1.0.zip is a Windows binary build of the package. You need the package source to be able to install it on anything other than Windows.

Answer 2

In addition to Joshua's answer, this error happened to me also when I tried to install a package that was a binary build for Linux, but compressed in .zip format instead of .tar.gz format.

So, when you install a binary package for Linux, it must be a .tar.gz file. You can use tools like 7-zip to uncompress the .zip file and recompress it as .tar.gz . Alternatively, use unzip ZIPFILE to extract the zip into a folder and tar -czf package.tar.gz FOLDER to recompress the folder to a .tar.gz -file.
