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. -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
