Hi,

After uninstalling Rtools 2.14.0, I have installed the latest version of
Rtools 2.15.0 which gives the two folders

C:\Rtools\bin

C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3

R is installed in the directory

C:\R\R-2.15.0

I have set the Environment Variable

PATH=c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin;c:\R\R-2.15.0\bin;<others>

I am trying to install a custom package (BMEA_0.2.1) which is exactly as
written&  built successfully on R-2.14.0

When I use R CMD INSTALL BMEA_0.2.1.tar.gz, I get the following output

* installing to library 'C:/R/R-2.15.0/library'

* installing *source* package 'BMEA' ...

** libs

cygwin warning:

   MS-DOS style path detected: C:/R/R-2.15.0/etc/x64/Makeconf

   Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/R/R-2.15.0/etc/x64/Makeconf

   CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this
warning
1. Do what it says and

set CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning

to avoid lots of warnings.
   Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:

      http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames

gcc -m64 -I"C:/R/R-2.15.0/include" -DNDEBUG
-I"d:/RCompile/CRANpkg/extralibs64/local/include"       -02 -Wall
-std=gnu99 -mtune-core2 -c getLogFC.c -o getLogFC.o

gcc: not found
2. So far your PATH look good, but it may be messed up later on, hence 
tell us what

echo %PATH%

returns and be sure you started a new Windows command shell after 
changing the PATH environment variable.

Best,
Uwe Ligges
make: *** [getLogFC.o] Error 127

ERROR: compilation failed for package 'BMEA'

* removing 'C:/R/R-2.15.0/library/BMEA'

It looks to me like it can't find the compiler, but I'm stumped as to how to
make that happen. I can see the gcc.exe file in "C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin" so
it does seem to be there (if that's what it's trying to look for)

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Thank you for the look with fresh eyes Uwe.

It was just the simple solution of opening a new command shell window. I
thought I'd tried that along with the multiple reboots, but it must have
been before I figured out the correct PATH settings.

And thanks for the CYGWIN reminder too. :)

All the best,

Steve
