website reference for building R packages

I used this tutorial and completed steps 1-6 without errors, but on
step 7 I tried to run R CMD check on my package called 'ram' directory
one level above the 'ram' folder and I got the following error?

I:\R_HOME>R CMD check ram
* checking for working latex ...Error: environment variable TMPDIR not set (or s
et to unusable value) and no default available.
 at c:\R\rw2010\share\perl/R/Utils.pm line 72

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,

Roger

Hi R People:

A few weeks ago, someone put a link to a website for "how to" for
building R packages.  It was very nice.

Writing R Extensions is an *complete* and *up to date* documentation for
this task. Package management is being steadily improved.
Really, I recommend to use "Writing R Extensions"!

If you are working on Windows, you might want to look into the R
Administration and Installation manual as well which descibes how to
collect and set up the required tools...

But of course, I have misplaced the link.  Does anyone still have
that, please?

It was someone from the University of Chicago, I believe.

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
