similar to: Still having a problem with Rcmd - TMPDIR

I''m having trouble building a package (named reap) under R1.2.1 Windows2000. I successfully ran d:\R\src\library rcmd check reap but when I run d:\R\src\library rcmd build reap I get the message: Please set TMPDIR to a valid temporary directory I''ve tried setting TMPDIR to d:/temp via: 1) My Computer properties environment variables, 2) at the command line, 3) in Rprofile, and

Dear R Help, My apologies if this is widely known, but I didn't find this in the R archives. I am running WinXP pro and R 1.90. Rcmd build or check fails with the error: "Please set TMPDIR to a valid temporary directory" $TMPDIR is set to $TMPDIR or C:/TEMP in share\perl\R\Var.pm. TMPDIR or c:\temp do not exist on WinXP on my laptop. I have C:\WUTemp and the env variables

A command R CMD build <pkg> that fails, e.g., because of C code compilation errors, leaves a directory %TMPDIR%/Rinst.xxx containing the file R.css. Although R CMD INSTALL --build cleans up after itself, build does not. A fix is below. Also, build.in references Rcmd.exe, which I thought was no longer necessary? Index: build.in

Hi, rcmd requires a temporary directory identified by the value of the environment variable "TMPDIR". Unfortunately, if the directory name has a space in it, rcmd errors out. For example, the standard temporary file "TMP" for xp is like: c:\documents and settings\r_user\local settings\temp If TMPDIR is defined via the Windows/XP "standard" way, i.e., set

Thank you for your help. I??m sorry that I found not the right entries in the R-devel. Now, I have again a problem. After installing all needed things I have run Rcmd INSTALL -l ../mypkg and respectively make mypkg By running Rcmd check I get following message: * checking for working latex ...Error: environment variable TMPDIR not set (or set to unusable value) and no default

When I run Rcmd check on a package on my Windows 2000 machine, I get a series of error messages like the following: * checking generic/method consistency ...c:\DOCUME~1\R5018~1.WOO\LOCALS~1\Temp/R utils138414013: cannot open c:DOCUME~1R5018~1.WOOLOCALS~1Temp/Rin138408157: no s uch file It looks as if a Windows style path to the temp directory is not being interpreted correctly, with backslashes

Has anyone successfully used Rcmd install or Rcmd check on Windows Vista? I have been successfully been running R itself, just not Rcmd install and Rcmd check. Rcmd check fails, the Ryacas.Rcheck it creates is read-only, I don't have permission to delete it and I have to reset the permissions on it just to delete it. With Rcmd install I am getting the following which looks like I am running

Hi All, I am having a problem with Rcmd build using R-devel on WinXP. If I try to build a package using the --binary flag, I get the following error: Error: cannot change to directory ' 'c:/TEMP/Rbuild.XXXX' ' Where XXXX is some number. I can get Rcmd build to work using R-1.7.1 and R-1.8.0, so I don't think it is a permission problem. I looked at the build file, and the

I have setup R 1.9.1 on my Dell laptop running windows XP. I have installed it to C:\R\rw1091. Rgui runs fine, but Rcmd fails if run with parameters (i.e. install). The windows dialog box cheerfully says "R for Windows front-end has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Running the visual C++ debugger informs me that there is an unhandled

Hello, I wrote an R function and want to build an R package on winXP. I have set my path:C:\bin;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\Perl\bin\;C:\Tcl\bin;C:\texmf\miktex\bin;C:\Program Files\R\rw1081\bin; I tried to run "Rcmd build --help" but failed.

R users, I recently upgraded (?) to Windows XP from 2000. I am trying to build an R package. I have done this many times on my old system and I am not sure why it is not working in XP. To build the package I call a bat file that specifies all the necessary paths -- but the "build" file (which appears to be a perl script) is looking for a "src" subdirectory in the src

I use my "custom" TMPDIR variable with virt-sparsify. I just type: export -p TMPDIR=/mnt/vm/tmpdir I do that for a couple reasons: either my /tmp is on a ramdisk or /tmp is on my (ssd) rootfs and i dont want to "full" my / with the temporally files. Thats said, i was thinking to "ask" OR sending a patch for adding a tmpdir OPTION for virt-sparsify like

I am trying to create a package. I have succeeded in running R CMD check and R CMD build on an Intel box running Redhat. I would now like to build it on Windows as well. There is no compiled code in the package at all. I have downloaded the tools from Brian Ripley's Building R for Windows page, and installed Active Perl 5.8.0. I have set paths, and Rcmd and the tools are being found ok. I am
