Hello, I have R 2.7.2 and RTools 2.8 on a vista pro computer. On my computer R CMD build changes the file names : all capital letters are transformed into lowercase letters (for instance the DESCRIPTION file is changed in 'description'). What can I do to correct this problem? Tank you, Ollivier TARAMASCO [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

What can I do to correct this problem?Use a less unreliable OS? The copying is done in Perl, and so is out of our control. This may depend on the file system, and I've not seen this (nor have others reported it), except on Samba-mounted file systems, about which the FAQ says Your file system must allow case-honouring long file names (as is likely except perhaps for some network-mounted systems). So sorry, unless that is the explanation this is beyond our control.> > > > Tank you, > > > > Ollivier TARAMASCO > > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-devel at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel >-- Brian D.

Check what drives you have available on your system and what file system each uses. Click on Start button and type in System Information and then choose Components / Storage / Drives in the left side panel. That will report all your drives and their file system and other information. Try running the build on a drive with a different file system and see if that helps. If you are able to remove the drive that seems to be the problem you might want to do that to ensure that its not being used for temporary files during the build.
