To complete this thread for anyone encountering a similar
problem, the fix I said I'd try (below) worked. Specifically, I
installed the latest Strawberry Perl, modified the path so the first
reference points to the new Perl, and R CMD build, check, INSTALL, and
"INSTALL -build" all seemed to work properly. Of course, there is
always a chance of some deeply hidden problem, but the obvious first
tests seemed to function exactly as I have come to expect.
Best Wishes,
Spencer Graves
