There is a batch command Rcmd.bat at http://batchfiles.googlecode.com that when run will find R using the registry and then run the appropriate Rcmd.exe so that you don't need to change your path or any other environment variable. Its a self contained .bat file so just place it anywhere on your existing path. At the Windows console this command will show you your path: path Now try Rcmd.bat build ...whatever... If your path is not already set to find Rcmd.exe then Rcmd.bat can be abbreviated to just Rcmd in the above line. -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
