All Windows files have an equivalent 8.3 name without spaces. It may differ

Or by shortPathName() in R.
But that does not help if R itself is generating the name (here I
guess .Library). R on Windows used almost always to generate 8.3 (aka
DOS) names, but since useRs are nowadays confused by them it
increasingly quotes canonical names.
Spaces in names are not unique to Windows: they are also common on Mac
OS X (which has no concept of 8.3 names). The problem (as the rw-FAQ
points out) is poorly written packages that fail to use quotes in
shell command lines (including those generated from makefiles).
In the US English, the equivalences usually are
c:\>cd c:/
c:\>dir /x Pr*
Volume in drive C is Windows7_OS
Volume Serial Number is 1E6B-37CE
Directory of c:\
06/09/2011 02:35 PM <DIR> PROGRA~1 Program Files
07/20/2011 08:35 PM <DIR> PROGRA~2 Program Files (x86)

Now we know that 64-bit R is located (in forward slash notation as used by
R) at
c:/Progra~1/R/R-2.13.1/bin/x64/R.exe

Inlining pure c-code works perfectly. When I try the sample code for cpp in
the cxx Documentation, I get:
x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe: C:/Program: No such file or directory
The path to the compiler is correct. Obviously there is some problem with
the space in C:/Program (Files).
Any ideas where to look for the settings that caused the failure?
