Hello all and happy new year !!! I had a package that worked fine but since I switched to R 2.15.2, It is not compatible anymore (I have the error message: not installed for 'arch=i386'). I have therefore updated Rtools 2.16 and Path variables as follow: PATH=C:\Rtools\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C\Rtools\MinGW\bin;C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-2.15.2\bin\i38 6;C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-2.15.2\include;C:\PROGRA~1\MIKTEX~2.9\miktex\bin;C:\WINDOWS;C: \WINDOWS\system32;C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin;C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin32 When I run the following cmd I have an error C:\tmp>R CMD INSTALL --build DistributionS4 * installing to library 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.2/library' * installing *source* package 'DistributionS4' ... ** libs cygwin warning: MS-DOS style path detected: C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-2.15.2/etc/i386/Makeconf Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/R/R-2.15.2/etc/i386/Makeco nf CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.
I'd suggest to do what this warning tells you.
Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:

make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

Not sure what this directory is about and why it is accessed, but you could check if you have some permission problems in that folder. You can turn off the checks for loading to get an installation for testing purposes, see R CMD INSTALL --help Best, Uwe Ligges
ERREUR : loading failed * removing 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.2/library/DistributionS4' * restoring previous 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.2/library/DistributionS4' I don't know what's going on, why permission is denied and why is it trying to reach such a directory (which by the way exists). Can somebody help me ???
