Can't install PDQ tool for R on windows - windows

I've been trying for half an hour following this simple guide http://www.perfdynamics.com/Tools/PDQcode.html#tth_sEc1.1.1
It simply throws this error:
> install.packages("C:\\Users\\Neven\\Downloads\\pdq_6.0-1.tar.gz",repos=NULL,type="source")
Warning: invalid package 'C:/Users/Neven/Downloads/pdq_6.0-1.tar.gz'
Error: ERROR: no packages specified
Warning messages:
1: running command '"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-30~1.2/bin/x64/R" CMD INSTALL -l "C:\ProgramFiles\R\R-3.0.2\library" "C:/Users/Neven/Downloads/pdq_6.0-1.tar.gz"' had status 1
2: In install.packages("C:\\Users\\Neven\\Downloads\\pdq_6.0-1.tar.gz", :
installation of package ‘C:/Users/Neven/Downloads/pdq_6.0-1.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status
I've been searching for an answer on the website, trying different things but nothing did it.

I was copy/pasting the command from their documentation and it seems their documentation is out of date.
The command is:
install.packages("C:\\Users\\Neven\\Downloads\\pdq_6.0-1.tar.gz",repos=NULL,type="source")
Since there's a new version of R (6.1-1), it should be:
install.packages("C:\\Users\\Neven\\Downloads\\pdq_6.1-1.tar.gz",repos=NULL,type="source")
Really stupid mistake, but that's what solved the problem.

Errors appearing in terminal after updating Anaconda

I ran conda update --all recently and now every time I open a new terminal I get these error lines at the top:

Any idea what is going on and how to fix it?
I solved this with:

Thanks to the help in the comments from #darthbith

Error while installing Alien::XGBoost library

I'm unable to install the Alien::XGBoost library using the default installation of Strawberry Perl on Windows 10. I'm using the 64-bit version of Strawberry Perl.
When installing Alien::XGBoost, I receive an error on line 49 in the Alien/Build/CommandSequence.pm file as shown below.
gmake[1]: Leaving directory 'C:/STRAWB~1/cpan/build/Alien-XGBoost-0.04-1/_alien/build_wYwS'

The syntax of the command is incorrect.

C:\STRAWB~1\c\bin\gmake.exe -- NOT OK
Stopping: 'install' failed for 'Alien::XGBoost'.
The author of the library just confirmed it was a bug. His statement is below. I installed the previous version and it worked perfectly.
Thanks for reporting this!!
It's a bug! I forgot to quote the path.
As you can see both md commands have the path double quoted (""), but not the copy command.
I'm working to fix it and also I'm going to get travis and appveyor integrations to avoid this in the future.
This weekend this will be fixed. Meanwhile please install the previous version:
cpanm PABLROD/Alien-XGBoost-0.03.tar.gz

Error with the command 'make basics ' while install winexe

I want to isntall winexe on Ubuntu 13.1 32bit version.
I did exactly after this guide: Winexe - aldeid
If I execute the command "make basics bin/winexe" there occurs the following error:
Compiling ../librpc/idl/atsvc.idl
/usr/include/stdc-predef.h:0: error: Syntax error near '3'
Failed to parse ../librpc/idl/atsvc.idl at ./../pidl/pidl line 608.
make: *** [idl] Error 1
I have absolutely no idea how to fix this.
I would be even satisfied with a solution suggestion to this problem.
Thank you.
make "CPP=gcc -E -ffreestanding" basics bin/winexe works around this error.
I found "another" way to isntall winexe.
ubuntu forum
The Donwload-Links to the static version (just unzip and run winexe) are working at the moment (on some other pages they didn't).
I still don't know why the error above occurs, if anybody knows it, please tell me anyway. I am still interessted.
VERY IMPORTANT EDIT: After restart winexe gives put an Internal Error signal 11
So I still need a solution for winexe. Either to isntall the verision from git or to fix this error.
EDIT nummber 2: OK, why am I sking questions if I answer them by myself?
The installation form the quide mentiond in my question qorks fine on Ubuntu 12 LTS and winexe-static-version is also ok if you don't make typing errors as I did.

Install external package in Google Go

I was trying to install external packages in GO language. I've found many external packages at http://godashboard.appspot.com/package.
I am working on windows system.
I tried this command to install go-router package.
goinstall go-router.googlecode.com/svn/trunk
This resulted in following error....
C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: === cd c:\go\src\pkg\go-router.googlecode.com\svn\trunk;
bash gomake -f- install
/cygdrive/c/go/bin/gomake: line 3: exec: make: not found
--- exit status 127
goinstall: go-router.googlecode.com/svn/trunk: install: running bash: exit status 127
I am unable to find out the reason for the error and the meaning of status code. I've read the goinstall command description but no luck..
It seems make command is missing. Make sure it's installed and that PATH variable is defined correctly.
