Hi An attempt to use R and Rtools in Wine fails, see the bug report to Wine: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34865 The people there say that Rtools uses an outdated Cygwin DLL with a custom patch. Is there any chance we can upgrade our Cygwin DLL to a supported upstream version? Thanks. Cheers Kirill [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

The one in the current distribution is rather old, so if it doesn't work in Wine, just go to the Cygwin site and install a newer Cygwin version. (Not sure if this is easy in Wine, but you could do it on a Windows machine, and copy the files over.) Duncan Murdoch
