RV: Reporting a conflict between ADMB and Rtools on Windows systems
I assume you use a command window to build your packages. One possible solution might be to leave out the path variables set by Rtools from your global path and to create a separate shortcut to cmd for building r-packages where you set your path as needed by R CMD build/check Something like cmd /K "PATH c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\MinGW\bin;c:\Rtools\MinGW64\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin" (I haven't tried this so it might need some tinkering to get it to actually work) HTH Jan

I've just found that there is a conflict between tools used to build R packages (Rtools) and ADMB due to the need to put Rtools compiler's location in the PATH environmental variable to make Rtools work. On a Windows 7 64bit with Rtools installed I installed ADMB-IDE latest version and although I could translate ADMB code to cpp code I could not build the cpp code into an executable via ADMB-IDE's compiler. On another Windows machine, a Windows Vista 32bits with Rtools installed I also installed the latest ADMB-IDE and this time it was not possible to create the .obj file on the way to build the executable when building with ADMB-IDE. On this machine I also have a previous ADMB version (6.0.1) that I used to run from the DOS shell. This ADMB also failed to build the .obj file. Now, going to PATH, the location info to make Rtools is: c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\MinGW\bin;c:\Rtools\MinGW64\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin; If from this list I remove the reference to the compiler c:\Rtools\MinGW\bin then ADMB works again. So beware of this conflict. Suggestion of a solution will be appreciated. Meanwhile, I run ADMB code in one computer and build R packages with Rtools in another computer. Best Ruben -- Dr. Ruben H.
