build R package on winXP
Dear Professor Ripley, Sorry I didn't get what the manual says. I read readme.package and also R for Windows Users several times but the pieces didn't come together. Your guess is right. The TMPDIR was set to c:\Documents and Settings\ and I didn't know this was a problem since I only checked Path and didn't see any path to be c:\Documents.... I think the Path "Program Files" should be substitute with "PROGRA~1" but what I should use for "Documents and Settings"? Thanks a lot for your help. Jing

The issue here is that some other path has been set to c:\Documents and Settings\... and I suspect that to be TMPDIR, as when I do that I get exactly this symptom. Why Jing Wu claims to quote me but excises everything I said, and also ignores everything I wrote, I don't know. He is showing a phenomenal lack of respect, and owes us an apology.

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.
I think Prof. Ripley already told you that there are blanks in your path
("Program Files" contains a blank!). Simply use another one without
blanks in it.
