R help - Mar 2005 - build failed of package

I am trying to install the rpvm package doing this:

C:\R\rw2000\bin>rcmd install rpvm_0.6-2.tar.gz

'.' is not recognized as an internal or external
command,
operable program or batch file.
'.' is not recognized as an internal or external
command,
operable program or batch file.
make: *** /rpvm: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [pkg-rpvm] Error 2
*** Installation of rpvm failed ***

Removing 'C:/R/rw2000/library/rpvm'

What does this error message tell me?

Looks like you are trying to install source tarball on Windows without
the relevant toolset (compiler, etc)?

Dear Professor Ripley

The good news is that I fot PVM up and running one two
Windows nodes now. I had to connect them with each
other manually ..... for now not using rsh or ssh.

Now building RPVM for Windows might not be so easy as
it sounds. Did anyone try this out before
successfully?

Also the SNOW package but that did not look so bad.

Regards
Lars
