Dear R-helpers, i am trying to make a shared library from a Fortran subroutine, and i therefore used (after reading the documentation): Rcmd SHLIB forfile.f #(R1.70, Win2000) And the error is: " 'perl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file." So i went ahead and tried to install Perl (from the suggested website in "readme.packages") but the installer told me i already had Perl installed! By the way, Rcmd COMPILE somefile.f gives the same error message. What am i missing?

Hi, Is perl in your Path? i.e. what happens when you type: perl --version On Fri, 13 Jun 2003, Remko Duursma wrote:> Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2003 14:54:40 -0700 > From: Remko Duursma <den.duurs at lycos.com> > To: rhelp <r-help at r-project.org> > Subject: [R] Problem with Rcmd SHLIB > > Dear R-helpers, > > i am trying to make a shared library from a Fortran subroutine, and i therefore used (after reading the documentation): > > Rcmd SHLIB forfile.f #(R1.70, Win2000) > > And the error is: > " 'perl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file." > > So i went ahead and tried to install Perl (from the suggested website in "readme.packages") but the installer told me i already had Perl installed! > By the way, > > Rcmd COMPILE somefile.f > > gives the same error message. >-- Cheers, Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
