EcoIP tar.gz file does not download properly on windows. about ecoip HOT 10 CLOSED

I noticed that you are running R in a cygwin environment. Can you try to install EcoIP by using the R console that is provided by the R windows installation (instead of running it on cygwin)? Be sure to execute RGui.exe (http://data.princeton.edu/R/gettingStarted.html)

from ecoip.

I also noticed that cygwin saw the filepaths and did some regex parsing. The thing is, I was running these commands through the R console as opposed to through cygwin or command prompt. I'm not sure of how to separate cygwin from the R console.

Hrm.

From where did you install R? Where did you download it from? I'm going to
test on a windows box that I have and I want to replicate your setup.

Regards

I've manged to Recreate the bug. To start I have created a new version of EcoIP that is released with R 3.0.0 so we should stop having the error message that warned about the wrong R version. To install this new version just follow the same instructions as before (https://github.com/Joelgranados/EcoIP/wiki/How-to-Install).

I'm going to test this new version on my test box back at home. I'll update the bug report once I have more information. I encourage you to test in your environment to see if the new EcoIP actually fixes stuff :)

I think I found the culprit of the issue.
I was using "wget" to download the source (this does not work with windows). I was also using "~" to refer to the home directory (this does not work on windows). I have made a new release of EcoIP in the hope to address this issue. Please test and get back to me if it's still is a problem.

Hey Dmitri

I tested again with the new build and it apparently keeps on failing. It seems that the automatic download is failing to correctly download the file (only on windows). A work around is to download the file from  http://sourceforge.net/projects/ecoip/ and use it for installation. Execute 'R CMD INSTALL ecoipfile.tar.gz'. If you have all the dependencies installed it should work.

If you don't have all the dependencies installed, you need to install them all. R will tell you which packages you need to install to get EcoIP going. Notice that you might have to compile some packages (SVG package) in order to install it; this is possible with the Rtools package for windows (so you might have to install Rtools as well).

I'm going to leave this issue open until I figure out why the download method does not download properly on windows

This issue could be related to https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7991 and to http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/devel/06/06/5792.html#5796qlink1

I tested the download feature in R and there seems to be something fishy....
I downloaded with "auto" and "internal" and in both cases the download detects a file of 6430711 bytes but downloads (I don't know from where) 6453589 bytes. When I download with Firefox I get the correct size of 6430711.

I just created a new bug-report in the R bug tracking system. https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15398

This issue should be solved with the latest version. EcoIP_0.1-20130722
