Hi, At this point, my question might be better directed at a different forum, but just in case... I'm wondering if I can tell R, or the package or cppFunction what path to look in? The verbose version follows: I'm compiling a few Rcpp+RcppArmadillo functions in Windows 7 without admin access. The rtools30.exe installer worked just fine and told me what PATH it wanted to set. However, the installer couldn't set the PATH in the registry itself (because I wasn't running the installer as an admin). At Dirk's suggestion (link below), I changed the PATH in the console and loaded up R from there; and it worked. http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/12028706#12028706 I prefer to use my own editor instead of R's default one. I tried spawning it (notepad++) from the console and then using a plugin for the editor to spawn R. That didn't work, so I'm wondering if I can tell R, or the package or cppFunction what path to look in? If not, I'll go ask the notepad++-to-R (nppToR) folks. I also tried editing options(editor='path to my editor') in the R session with the right path, but couldn't get that to work.

[Rcpp-devel] passing a PATH within R
2 messages · Frank Erickson
Hi again,
Issue resolved. I found it in the last tab I had open:
Sys.setenv("PATH"=my_path)
found here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1189759/expert-r-users-whats-in-your-rprofile
I'm very glad SO didn't delete that question.
Best,
Frank
