Does your setting of TMPDIR, TEMP or TMP have a space in it?
>From the R-admin manual:
You may need to set TMPDIR to the absolute path to a suitable temporary
directory: the default is 'c:/TEMP'. (Use forward slashes and do not
use a path including spaces.)
The documentation is that manual, not 'Murdoch's page', whatever
that is.
