Hello all and happy new year !!! I had a package that worked fine but since I switched to R 2.15.2, It is not compatible anymore (I have the error message: not installed for 'arch=i386').
I have therefore updated Rtools 2.16 and Path variables as follow: PATH=C:\Rtools\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C\Rtools\MinGW\bin;C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-2.15.2\bin\i38 6;C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-2.15.2\include;C:\PROGRA~1\MIKTEX~2.9\miktex\bin;C:\WINDOWS;C: \WINDOWS\system32;C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin;C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin32 When I run the following cmd I have an error C:\tmp>R CMD INSTALL --build DistributionS4 * installing to library 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.2/library' * installing *source* package 'DistributionS4' ... ** libs cygwin warning: MS-DOS style path detected: C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-2.15.2/etc/i386/Makeconf Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/R/R-2.15.2/etc/i386/Makeco nf CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.

Can somebody help me ???
