Thanks Prof. Brain, Following your suggestion I found the reason of my problem in the document ''R Installation and Administration' and the links it points to'.
After I updated to R2.6.2, the RTools's default compiler chaged to gcc4 while I was using 3.4.x. The error disappeared after I installed gcc4 and the default settings from RTools works well now. Have a nice day! Sun "Prof Brian Ripley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Using 'mingw32-make' indicates that you have not followed the instructions > accurately.
