R v2.13.2 - Cannot find Rcmd on path?
5 messages · Hardy Griesbauer, Joshua Wiley, Duncan Murdoch +2 more
Hi Hardy, I would double check the PATH variable in Windows. You can check it through the control panel, command prompt, or PowerShell. If the correct path to R is not included, you will need to edit it (the PATH environment variable). I do not know a way to permanently edit it from the command prompt but it is easy and there are many guides online for how to do it through the control panel or the PowerShell. HTH, Josh

Hello, I recently updated to R version 2.13.2. With R version 2.10.0, I often created and installed R packages, however, I cannot do this since updating. In other words, when I type in Rcmd build -binary PACKAGENAME I receive an error message: "Rcmd is not recognized as an internal...". I suspect that this is because Rcmd.exe is no longer installed in the bin folder, but rather, in the x64 folder within bin. Please help! What I've done so far: 1) Downloaded and installed the latest version of Rtools (as of October 21, 2011). 2) During installation of Rtools, I included the following in the path: C:\Progra~1\R\R-2.13.2\bin\x64 and confirmed that this is on the path. 3) Read every help manual I can find, but I can't seem to locate the answer to this problem. Other information: R version 2.13.2 (2011-09-30) Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) My windows version: Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64-bit OS.

The simple way to do it just for the command prompt is to write a little batch file setpath.bat containing set PATH=newstuff;%PATH% and then run cmd with CMD /K setpath.bat Duncan Murdoch

I have the same problem. I was not able to find RCMD on path after I updated to R 2.13.2. My computer runs win xp professional.

What 'same problem'? (The posting guide asked you to retain suffiicent context.) Installing R does not put Rcmd.exe on the PATH. You have to do that for yourself: this has always been the case. How to set environment variables (including PATH) is discussed in the rw-FAQ. However, if you look in the R help archives at https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2011-October/293387.html you will see that two answers to a message with the same subject had already been given.
