Fixing that worked, thank you very much. In general, even though I
don't distribute binaries to others, I prefer to run through the build
all the way to risntaller and then run check-all to make sure
everything is working properly. Also, it allows me to use the
installer to install a production version of R to one subdirectory and
keep mu

Two points if I may:

1) The MkRules has the flag TEX2ANY and the texinfo zip has a flag
MAKEINFO which seems to require the same statement. I put both in the
MkRules.local, but which one should be used?
2) For windows users "/path/to/perl" may be a bit misleading. Most of
the other entries require the subdirectory name. This one seems to
require the full name of the executable (e.g.
"F:/Strawberry/perl/bin/perl.exe").

Once again, thank you,
