I wrote an R function and want to build an R package on winXP. I have set my path:C:\bin;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\Perl\bin\;C:\Tcl\bin;C:\texmf\miktex\bin;C:\Program Files\R\rw1081\bin; I tried to run "Rcmd build --help" but failed. Under C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe, I got the error message: Please set TMPDIR to a valid temporary directory.
I moved my folder 'IHF' to C:\Program Files\R\rw1081\src\library. Then I typed the commond: C:\Program Files\R\rw1081\src\library >Rcmd build --binary IHF I got this error message: Error: cannot change to directory 'C:/Documents'. Where did I go wrong? Thanks.
Did you actually read the file readme.packages that I pointed you to in my previous reply? What does it say about paths containing spaces? Do not use paths with spaces in: you can always use the short forms. You appear to have done so *twice*.
