R - installation of the FFTW3 package on a Windows machine
I am trying to plot a cartogram using R following Gastner and Newman 's algorithm on diffusion techniques to create density alignment maps
I found a recipe on how to do this with packages Getcartr
and Rcartogram
; however, this requires the installation of the Fast Fourier Transform libraries FFTW3
and fftw
.
I installed easily fftw
from CRAN, but I have a problem with FFTW3
which I could only find in the archive here .
When trying to install a package from a .zip file, the following error message appears:
install.packages(choose.files(), type="source", repos=NULL)
Installing the package in the "H: /R.shiny.tutorial/libraries" folder (as
lib
not specified)Warning c

I've found some tips for installing FFTW3
on Mac and Linux, but I'm working on a Windows machine .
I found similar problems on the internet, but their solutions don't work for me.
