I have installed R-3.0.2 and RStudio 0.99.442 on a remote machine with Operating System as Windows Server 2012 R2. Now the remote machine has no internet access, so the only way to install package is first downloading the package source file (xxx.tar.gz) to my local system and then copying the same to remote machine. And then installing the package to remote machine using the source file. But unfortunately, I have not been able to install a single package by this method. For ex - while installing 'clue' package the error came as - ERROR: compilation failed for package 'clue'. Similarly while installing 'RODBC' package the error came as ERROR: configuration failed for package 'RODBC'. When I tried to install package using source file on my local system (Windows 7 with internet access), there was absolutely no problem. So, is it the problem with OS or problem is no internet access ? I tried real hard to look for solutions but no luck. I would really appreciate your inputs to help me out.

  • You need to download *.zip files, not *.tar.gz. Or you need Rtools installed on the remote machine to compile from source files. –  Jun 17 '15 at 07:24
