[R] problem with "make distribution"
Dear R People: I'm trying to experiment with the "make distribution" with R-2.12.0 when compiling from source on Windows. It works fine on Windows XP, but I'm having a snag with Windows 7. Here is the snag: cp -prf "../../../Tcl" R-2.12.0 cp: preserving permissions for `R-2.12.0/Tcl/bin': Invalid argument cp: preserving permissions for `R-2.12.0/Tcl/doc': Invalid argument and so on. Has anyone run into this, please? Thanks for any help. Sincerely, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences University of Houston - Downtown mailto: erinm.hodg...@gmail.com __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Has anyone run into this, please? Yes. This is an issue with how you unpacked the Tcl directory. Without knowing how you did that, you will need either to - Use Windows Explorer to correct the ownership/permissions of Tcl and those subdirectories -- sometimes simply renaming it and making a copy called 'Tcl' is the easiest way forward. - Remove it and unpack it some other way, e.g. via the zip file available at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ Cygwin and Windows 7/Vista do sometimes fight over permissions (and this is using cp from Cygwin): I've seen this more often with the Cygwin update in the current Rtools212 than in earlier versions.

Re: [R] problem with "make distribution"
Hello again. I downloaded the R_Tcl zip file and extracted it to c:\R\R-2.12.0 I re-ran the entire process and still have the same problem with Windows 7.
