R help - Feb 2004 - Rcmd SHLIB

Ok, I think I may have a path or permissions problem (below).  Anyone know which
settings I should check?

When I use 

"Rcmd SHLIB <filename>"

I get:  

C:\Program Files\R\rw1081\bin>Rcmd SHLIB info.diffusion.c
process_begin: CreateProcess((null), dlltool -k --as as --dllname R.dll --def R.
exp --output-lib libR.a, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
make[1]: *** [libR.a] Error 2
make: *** [libR] Error 2

Most likely you don't have dlltool in your path.  Further, I suspect you 
don't have the correct make in your path since AFAIK that does not use 
CreateProcess.

Please check and check again that you have followed exactly all the 
instructions in the file readme.packages.  See Q3.1 in the rw-FAQ.
