[ADMB Users] installing admb and bringing it into R

[Ian Taylor]

Hi Mari,
Note that the command
	cd admb-10.0\src6
will change directory relative to whatever your current directory is.
It may work better if you modify the command to be
	cd c:\admb-10.0\src6

However, the larger question is why bother with all the steps of trying to
compile ADMB from the source distribution (note that there are many steps
after the one you're stuck on). It is much easier to download the MinGW or
Borland installer, or better yet, the ADMB-IDE, all of which are at
http://admb-project.org/downloads/
