Thank you Duncan,
No I did not install R from cygwin. R is installed with windows 7.
I am calling R with a symbolic link from /usr/bin part of cygwin paths,
but my symbolic link is pointing to /usr/bin/R ->
/cygdrive/d/RHome/bin/R.exe
Is it possible R is lost in forward paths recognized by cygwin?
You are right I need to test further. Thought someone would have had
this experience and a solution from previous work.

Hi,
Using R 2.15.1 on Windows 7. Have installed both versions 32 and 64bit.
In both of them among others I have installed a package rgenoud
When I open R gui of 32bit and write library(rgenoud) it responds by
showing a functional rgenoud version 5.7-8. The same it does on Rgui
64bit.
Now I am working in cygwin (v. 1.12.4.0) with xwin. Normally before when
I had installed a package, I only had to call the library with the name
of the package and R will find the right one to load.
Now when I apply R CMD BATCH script1.R out1.txt, under cygwin the first
thing it reports:
R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) -- "Roasted Marshmallows"
After some generalities it reports
>library(rgenoud)
Error in library(rgenoud) : there is no package called 'rgenoud'
Execution halted
So my question is why under cygwin in a batch mode, it does not find the
installed package, which is already installed in my laptop's R?
I think you'll need to debug this yourself, since you haven't given us
much to work with. My guess would be that you have a different path
so you're finding a different R, but it could be something else. (You
aren't using the R distributed by Cygwin, are you? That one doesn't
work. I don't know who put it into the Cygwin distribution, but they
obviously didn't test it.)
