Dear Steven,
Did you follow the instruction on the Rtools webpage to add
PATH="${RTOOLS40_HOME}\usr\bin;${PATH}"
to your .Renviron file?
I hope this helps,
John

Thanks John. Where is file .Renviron located? It must be a hidden file. I cannot find it.

Hello John,
Perhaps you can help me. I am an idiot. I visited the Rtools web page
and learn to run the following lines in R: Still I am getting the same
warning message.
> writeLines('PATH="${RTOOLS40_HOME}\\usr\\bin;${PATH}"',
con =
"~/.Renviron")
> Sys.which("make")
????????????????????????????? make
"C:\\rtools40\\usr\\bin\\make.exe"

I assume that you executed the second command in a fresh session, and it indicates that the Rtools are indeed accessible. Given that, I don't know why you're still having a problem, assuming that you tried to build the package in a fresh session *after* you created .Renviron.

Type ?.Renviron ?R.home ?"environment variables" at the R prompt to get what I think should be the info you need (or at least useful info).

Did you restart rstudio? How exactly are getting this error? Are you using install.packages() in R? Or using the pkgbuild package? Also are you running the latest version of rstudio? I think old versions may have had difficulty finding rtools40.
