R help - Oct 2003 - permission problem on R install

Dear R People:

I'm trying to compile R for Windows from source.

I get to the Making package base and then

c:\rsource\R-1.7.1\bin\rterm.exe permission denied

How do I change the permissions, please?

Thanks again
R-1.1.1

Sincerely,
Erin

Dear R People:

Here is the exact sequence of events:

Making package base

adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION

C:/rsource/R-1.7.1/bin/rterm.exe: permission denied

MAKE[2]:***[C:/rsource/R-1.7.1/library/base/zzzz] Error 126

MAKE[1]:***[pkg-base] Error 2

MAKE:***[rpackage] Error 2


Also, I'm using version 2.0.0-3.exe of Mingw.

I tried the most recent version, and it got hung up because
of changes in the type sizes.

This doesn't make sense, does it?

Thanks,
Erin
