Why don't you install the Windows binary?
install.packages("nlme")
should do the trick?
Otherwise, see "R Installation and Administration" manual fir details
how to set up an environment for installing from sources under Windows.
Note that nlme is a recommended package and included in the binary
distribution of R anyway.

change them to avoid using cygwin, something like -mno-cygwin.
Can you point me to the equivalent of the makefile ? I tried
setting default gcc to version 3 but no change etc. I can play
with the build flags if I know where they are.
Thanks.

I wonder why cygwin is mentioned here.
Yeah, that was my first question but once I get tied up in these
things I get confused easily and need input :) I haven't used
R in quite a while and this is my first exposure to the 64 bit OS and
all the "stuff" to consider about build issues. There could be a cygwin
R build, I dunno.
and does not run under cygwin. cygwin1.dll should not be required
anywhere. The cygwin platform is not supported.
I have reported even
more bizarre results on the cygwin list from time to time on this machine...
The library(nlme) call AFAIK is hanging in a 'dohs 7 stack trace with
no obvious use of cygwin. In fact, if I run cygcheck to find dll
list it returns this without obvious cygwin need. I did find some notes about
system32 and WOW64 redirects, not sure if there is anything relevant in that
mess but I was hoping to avoid this. Maybe I should just try a reinstall.
$ cygcheck ../R.exe
C:\pfs\R\R-2.11.1\bin\junk\..\R.exe
Stupid hotmail or spam filter seems to have wrecked this...

On further investgiation, I clicked on the "R" picture using
windoze explorer and ran as admin. First, I got a prompt saying
it could not find cygwin1.dll. I changed env variables to add cygwin
to path and now it just silently hangs.
If I ask for more details and run R --verbose in gdb and then ctrl-C,
