*The error seems to come from "/Rtools/bin/sh: line 8:
c:/Rtools/mingw_32/bin/g++ : No such file or directory" but it clearly
exists and the path has the speicific path to mingw. Does anyone have an
idea or can redirect me to a relevant thread? I might be completely wrong
as to where the error actually is maybe someone recognizes the problem
better?*

The R-on-Windows FAQ has recommends to NOT install in a path with spaces.

The R Installer on Windows defaults to a path with spaces.

I cannot reconcile it either. Such is life, sometimes.

But when I had to work on that platform in the past I put my open source
stuff into c:/opt/ -- so maybe try reinstalling?

Rtools also had (has ?) a gotcha requiring c:/ placement.

Those might be the problem, but to me it looks more like a path order 
problem:
The OP has 23 directories in the path ahead of the Rtools directories; 
I'd guess one of them contains a like-named command that is messing 
things up.  From the message
my guess would be that there's a bad 'nm.exe' somewhere in there.  The 
real one is likely in directory 25 (I haven't got current Rtools 
installed, so can't tell), but if there's another one earlier, things 
won't work.

I'd recommend putting the Rtools directories first.  That might mess up 
one of the other programs that also wants to be first, so I wouldn't do 
it globally, just set up a batch or cmd file to modify the path when you 
want to use Rtools.

One of the programs that don't work is find from R tools if it is behind 
C:\Windows\system32 where the ompletely different windows find is found.

Best,

Hey all and thank you for helping me,
In the end, I re-installed R, and R tools and the check gives me no error
?on this computer. I tried all of the above, didn't solve the problem.

Thanks again anyway!
Horia.
