Installing a Package in Windows 2000

I'm using R 1.4.1 under Windows 2000 and am experiencing difficulty installing a package. I've included an example output using Rcmd build, but the same problem occurs with Rcmd check and Rcmd INSTALL. The error (make[1]: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found) is not a new one - it's referenced in readme.packages among other locations. I've placed a copy of sh.exe in C:\bin, but it didn't fix the problem. I've also checked to ensure that perl can be found. Actually, I've made an extensive effort to solve the problem prior to sending this help request. So, any assistance will be greatly appreciated! make[1]: Entering directory

`/cygdrive/c/R/rw1041/src/library/statmanual' if [ ! -f ./TITLE -a -f ./DESCRIPTION ] ; then \ perl C:/R/rw1041/share/perl/maketitle.pl ./DESCRIPTION > TITLE; \ fi make[1]: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found make[1]: *** [TITLE] Error 127
... Hmm. Since you could run "make" a couple of lines above, I think the above means that sh cannot find perl (in spite of your checking). What happens if you start sh.exe manually and type "perl" into it? What is your PATH and where have you put perl?
