Hi Larry, Thank you for your reply and advice.

I just made a clean R installation just to make sure and I still get the same error message: >In file included from IntervalTree.c:3:0: >common.h:59:24: fatal error: mingw/math.h: No such file or directory >compilation terminated. >/usr/lib/R/etc/Makeconf:121: recipe for target `IntervalTree.o' failed >make: *** [IntervalTree.o] Error 1 >ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘IRanges’ >* removing ‘/usr/lib/R/site-library/IRanges’ I've read there are some other problems with MinGW these days, maybe this one is related? In any case, is there anything I can do to try to solve the issue? Bioconductor is vital to me and using R from within Windows is causing me a lot of headaches. Thanks!
