R help - Apr 2010 - Unable to make bitmapdll files on windows 7 64 bit machine

I am trying to build a windows 32 bit version of R 2.11.0 from source on a
machine running
 windows 7 - 64 bit while running as the machine's administrator.
I am able to run "make all recommended"...However, once I attempt to
build the bitmap files I get the following:

C:\Rsource\R-2.11.0\src\gnuwin32>make bitmapdll
make -C bitmap
make[1]: Entering directory
`/cygdrive/c/Rsource/R-2.11.0/src/gnuwin32/bitmap'
make CC='gcc -std=gnu99' AR='ar' \
  CFLAGS="-O3 -I../../../extra/zlib -DPNG_NO_MMX_CODE" \
  RANLIB=ranlib ZLIBLIB=../../../extra/zlib -C libpng \
  -f scripts/makefile.mingw prefix=foo libpng.a
gcc -std=gnu99 -c -O3 -I../../../extra/zlib -DPNG_NO_MMX_CODE -o png.o png.c
Assembler messages:
Fatal error: can't create png.o: Permission denied
make[3]: *** [png.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [buildpng] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/cygdrive/c/Rsource/R-2.11.0/src/gnuwin32/bitmap'
make: *** [bitmapdll] Error 2

Any suggestions/hints on what I am messing up are most appreciated.  

Thanks in advance.

The permissions on bitmap/libpng.

There have been reports of this when Rtools is used on Windows 7, so 
try fixing the permissions under bitmap manually or unpacking those 
components directly from the tarball sources.

Such questions are best asked on R-devel: see the posting guide.

You  need to check the permissions on the files installed by the Rtools 
installer.  From the look of it, you are missing some permissions on the 
src/gnuwin32/bitmap/libpng directory, or one of its parents.  In Unix 
terms, you need read-write-execute permission on all of those 
directories, and I think the Rtools installer is not currently giving 
you that.  You can run "ls -l" to see what permissions you've got;
ls is
in the Rtools.  I forget how you change permissions in Windows 7 without 
chmod, but I think it's a matter of working with the Properties you see 
when you right click the file.  (Or you can install Cygwin, and then 
you'll get chmod.)
