Hello, This may not be a bug--but I'm not sure.
In that case you should not submit a bug report. Someone will have to clean up after you.
I have R 1.91 installed on a machine that's running Windows XP.
And the current year is approx. 2045... (1.9.1 is the current version)
In Cygwin, when I attempt to use the "build" command it tells me that TMPDIR is set to an invalid directory. See the results below:
It is saying that TMPDIR is not set to a valid directory, which is not quite the same thing. It would appear that it is not set at all.

How can I set it?
A temporary directory. "export TMPDIR=$TMP" would be a guess if you're using bash. Otherwise, however you normally set environment variables. Did you read the INSTALL and README.packages files? In particular there seems to be a couple of gotchas involved when running under Cygwin.
