This may be an indication of what is wrong - I do not have an environment variable R_LIBS
Anyone can download the package, it's open source: http://bioinformatics.iah.ac.uk/tools/download I stripped it down to just the R, data and man directories and made a couple of minor code changes. ________________________________________ From: Uwe Ligges [lig...@statistik.tu-dortmund.de] Sent: 13 March 2010 17:30 To: michael watson (IAH-C) Cc: r-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] Problem building packages on windows: /cygdrive/c/Rtools/bin/cp: target `xf-))' is not a directory On 13.03.2010 18:15, michael watson (IAH-C) wrote: > Dear R-Help > > My OS is Windows CP, I'm not sure my sessionInfo() is relevant but here it is: > > R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14) > i386-pc-mingw32 > > locale: > [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United Kingdom.1252 LC_CTYPE=English_United > Kingdom.1252 LC_MONETARY=English_United Kingdom.1252 > [4] LC_NUMERIC=C LC_TIME=English_United > Kingdom.1252 > > attached base packages: > [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base > > I installed RTools211.exe and my path is set to: > > c:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop;c:\Program > Files\R\R-2.10.1\bin;c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\perl\bin;c:\Rtools\MinGW\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program > Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\ > I have HTML Help Workshop installed.

Which library PATHS (e.g. in environment variable R_LIBS) are set? Do we have access to the package in order to look if it is the package or your environment which causes the problem?
