[Rd] Error "Warning in read_symbols_from_dll(so, rarch): this requires 'objdump.exe' to be on the PATH
Hi all, I try to compile my package kml and I get the message Warning in read_symbols_from_dll(so,rarch): this requires 'objdump.exe' to be on the PATH I check 'Writing R Extensions' but I did not find any reference to this error. Does someone know how to fix that? Thank you very much for your help. Christophe

Does someone know how to fix that?Yes: Put objdump.exe on the PATH, that executable is part of gcc and in its bin directoy.

So is 'nm', which may appear in a similar message (and on Windows means 'nm.exe'). -- Brian D. Ripley, ripley at stats.ox.ac.uk Emeritus Professor of Applied Statistics, University of Oxford
