Thanx to all who responded to my plea for help. You were right, I did not have the Path environment set properly for the tools package. I get a little further now, but still get an error message.
My Cmd Window looks like this: Rcmd SHLIB combo.f ar cr combo.a *.o ranlib combo.a gcc --shared -s -o combo.dll combo.def omo.a -LC:/PROGRA~1/R/rw1070/src/gnuwin32 -lg2c -lR Warning: .drectve '%.*s' unrecognized Warning: .drectve '%.*s' unrecognized Warning: .drectve '%.*s' unrecognized Warning: .drectve '%.*s' unrecognized Warning: .drectve '%.*s' unrecognized Warning: .drectve '%.*s' unrecognized Warning: .drectve '%.*s' unrecognized I've read through the readme.packages text and have applied everything that I think applies to my situation, except for that R is installed in "Program Files". I will move it to a dir with ni spaces next. Any other suggestions?
