I don't know about Windows 10 but I think that the pointers to Rtools need to be to the bin subdirectory. Also, it is prudent to have these at the beginning of the search path, e.g.
PATH=c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\mingw_64\bin;c:\ProgramF\R\R-3.6.0patched\bin; I am not sure if the entry for ming_w64 above is (still) needed.

"sessionInfo()" says, "Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)". This is trying to build a local clone of "https://github.com/sbgraves237/bssm", which is only slightly different from "helske/bssm". What do you suggest? Thanks, Spencer Graves p.s. "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28723882/problems-installing-development-package-from-either-github-or-local#28724622" documents a discussion of this message from 2015. It asks if "Rtools is in your PATH?" The "path" includes "C:\RBuildTools\3.5" and "C:\Program Files\R\R3.6.1\bin" plus other non-R stuff. That discussion also said, "The .o files in the src directory were messing things up." bssm/src does not contain any *.o files. ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
