> A couple of things to try: - try re-installing Rtools and R - put Rcmd.bat from http://batchfiles.googlecode.com on your path and then try re-building Rcmd.bat build mypackage
Rcmd.bat will automatically find R and certain other files from the registry and temporarily set certain environment variables that may compensate for a mis-configured system. Thanks! I'll try this too. Ian ****************************************************************************************************************************** IAN SCHILLER, M.Sc.
