Looks like you are trying to install source tarball on Windows without the relevant toolset (compiler, etc)? On Thu, 24 Mar 2005 00:11:34 -0800 (PST), Lars Schouw

Tony, sorry, but your answer is too easy: Obviously, Lars Schouw has not *exactly* followed the instructions on how to install contributed source packages. If he has done so, he should at first try with a "simple" package, e.g. one that has a binary on CRAN. BUT: Lars has to modify rpvm quite extensively in order to get it compiled for Windows (in particular - at least! - Makevars.win). And you as one of the authors are now asked to give some hints how to proceed. Uwe

But trying to execute "." like that (and not as a bash internal) suggests that Lars is not even set up to pick up the bash shell at the appropriate point, so perhaps he needs to get the configuration right before messing with rpvm makefiles?

To save further hassle, rpvm is not going to build on Windows unless you have PVM installed and working on Windows. If that is the case, this looks like the use of the wrong make, with the wrong shell (that message is coming from a Windows shell, not sh.exe). Do see the warnings in README.packages about the MinGW make.
