R: Issue in installing Pm

[michele basile]

Hi Tatsuro,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Concerning your questions below you will find my answers;

1) Platform Windows Home Premium


2) & 3) I have used the commands below a suggested by the PMTK3:


Download the latest zip file from github, or clone the repository.

Start Matlab/Octave. Suppose the directory where you unzipped pmtk is called
'C:\pmtk3'. Then type the following (you will need to modify the directory
names if you unzipped these files to a different place).

  cd C:\pmtk3
  initPmtk3
You should see something like this.

  initializing pmtk3
  downloading 38 packages to pmtk3/pmtksupportCopy from
pmtksupport.googlecode.com - this may take a few      minutes 
  downloading GGM-GWishart............success
  ...

I have to add that of course the initialization part did not take place

Hope this can help to indentify the issue

Best 

Michele

Seem to be related to
lbfgsC cannot be found #79 
https://github.com/probml/pmtk3/issues/79



Workaround is described the above

However, lbfgs  seem not to implemented on octave nor matlab.

You seem to have build the below by yourself.
