- What kind of path is the latter (without any drive letter)? - In some circumstances you need "." in your path (maybe not for compiling packages - I'm too lazy to read the docs right now). > rcmd build --binary --use-zip taxon > > **** end of my bat file ***** > > ***my error messages ****** > > H:\R\rw1081\src\gnuwin32>rcmd build --binary --use-zip taxon > * checking for file 'taxon/DESCRIPTION' ...

Some comments: - I think it's strange to build packages within the R source tree. Try to avoid that at first! - Is that version of R self-compiled or the binary from CRAN? - Do you have modified any files within the R sources? - Do you use a Makefile in taxon?
