[postgis-users] FW: [Plr-general] Compiling PL/R under VC++ 2005

[Paragon Corporation]

Not quite.  It would make sense to have the dll included by default as a
contrib file like the others in the PostgreSQL releases I guess.  Not sure
we need a stackbuilder for it though since we would never include installing
R in there.

Thanks,
Regina

Hi Regina,

Does this mean that we now finally have a one-click installer for
PostgreSQL, PostGIS and PL/R combined? I have been looking forward to this
for years!
