I am having problems building R packages in Windows xp. I have followed the
instructions from Peter E. Rossi in Documentation -> Other, except for the
Better to follow the accurate official documentation.

TeX version (fpTeX), since when I go to the recommended webpage, it is said
that fpTeX has been discontinued.
Only development has been discontinued.  fptex is still available at e.g.

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/fptex/

and other CTAN nodes.
You can't build vignettes with fptex (maybe there
are workarounds) so I think MiKTeX should be the recommended 
option in any case.  I have tried both and deleted fptex off my
drive some time ago once I realized that its problems were even
worse than those of MiKTeX.
