Thanks for your question. Your logs show that 'gcc' is not found. As of R 3.3 you need to set the path to the compiler using the BINPREF variable. This is because we ship two separate versions of gcc, one targeting win32 and one targeting win64. I am not sure what your rtools installation looks like, but could you try setting this environment variable: BINPREF="M:/R/Rtools-3.4/mingw_$(WIN)/bin/" I think this will do the job.

The only thing that 17376 does is add c:/rtools/bin to the default path. But this dir does not exist for this user, so it is ignored by windows when searching the PATH. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
