Thanks for the help. That sorted it out straight away.

Hi,
I can't seem to install R from source. I've downloaded the latest
Rtools211.exe from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ & done a
full installation of that and Inno Setup.
I have set R_HOME as C:\R (and also tried using C:\R\R-2.11.1)
After successfully running 'tar xf R-2.11.1.tar.gz' the modifications
I have made and saved as MkRules.local are:
BUILD_HTML = YES & ISDIR=C:/Program Files/Inno Setup 5
I've then run 'make all recommended' from R_HOME\src\gnuwin32 and it
runs nicely for ages, until I get the following message:
building package 'base'
cannot create /tmp/R612: directory nonexistent
mv: cannot stat '/tmp/R612': No such file or directory
R thinks your temporary directory is called /tmp, but there's no such
directory on your system. R looks for a temporary directory in the
environment variables
TMPDIR, TMP, TEMP. Set TMPDIR to the path to a writable directory and
you should get past this error.

make[3]: ***[mkR] Error 1
make[2]: ***[all] Error 2
make[1]: ***[R] Error 1
make: ***[all] Error 2
Sometimes the number changes to /tmp/R5776, or something similar but I
don't think that's the issue.
My current setting for PATH are:
c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\perl\bin;c:\Rtools\MinGW\bin;C:\Program
Files\PC Connectivity Solution\;C:\Program Files\Common
Files\ArcSoft\Bin;%GTK_BASEPATH%\bin;c:\program
files\imagemagick-6.4.1-q16;C:\texmf\miktex\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;c:\dev-cpp\bin\;C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727;C:\Program
Files\Common Files\DivX Shared\;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\
FWIW, It's a 4yo Dell laptop & I've come across a few quirks with
installing software over the years. I had also previously installed
2.11.1 from the windows executable, but this was uninstalled using the
uninstall function that comes with it. I'm trying to rebuild to begin
incorporating some calls to C I'm working on.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
