R help - Aug 2012 - creation of package failed

Dear all
I am trying to build a package, and get the error message: ""packaging
into .tar.gz failed"".
I have also installed the same package directly from a locally created zip file.
In this case, the package is put correctly under C:\R\R-2.15.0\library. However,
when I check the package, I get another error message, stating "ERROR:
compilation failed for package".
I use a 64 bit computer.
Before attempting the installation, I had created the following path: PATH = 
C:\R\R-2.15.0\bin\x64; c:\R\Rtools\bin; C:\R\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin64; 
C:\MiKTeX\miktex\miktex\bin;  c:\windows; c:\windows\system32;
C:\Windows\SysWOW64; C:\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 5.
I have re-installed today the most recent version of Rtools.
Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong here?

Did the package pass an RCMD check first?

Unsufficient information to know that, but the PATH above is incorrect, 
you must not have spaces between the separate directories.

In addition, we need full information what you tried when you said R CMD 
build and how the directory looked like. Do you have write permission in 
the parent directory etc.

Hi,

Could you indicate the way you resolved?. I am having the same problem you
had, and I can't resolve it. What do you mean when you say that folders have
be in front?.

Thanks in advance.

Eva
