I didn't set it manually. I admit to not knowing my way around Makevars....can you tell me exactly what you did, where you put Makevars (or should it be Makevars.win?) and what is omitted by [...], in other words, what command spits out R_HOME? I should RTFM, and I am, but haven't figured it out yet... One additional piece of information: I went to inst\doc and ran "R CMD make" and it output the correct R_HOME. So maybe it's something about R CMD build that gets it wrong?
