Dear helpeRs,
on my Windows 7 laptop, I have problems getting R CMD check to work. I
believe it did work completely before, but I am not sure.
Yesterday it almost worked, except for the tests: These were aborted
because of a complaint that the temporary directory wasn't available. I
played with windows environment variables for the temporary directory,
but that didn't solve it. Apparently I did something that made things
worse:
Today, R CMD check completely refuses to work, with the error message
"Fatal error: creation of tmpfile failed -- set TMPDIR suitably?" This
is the same for current R and R-devel. Changes to the TEMP or TMP
environment variable don't influence this behavior.
The path:
C:\Rtools;C:\Program Files\Dell\DW WLAN Card;C:\Program
With the default install, there are no executables in C:\Rtools. They
are normally in C:\Rtools\bin and C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin. But this
probably isn't causing the problem. It sounds as though you've set
the temporary directory to something that doesn't exist, or somewhere
you're not allowed to write.
Can you still start R? If so, what does tempdir() show? Mine shows
[1] "C:\\temp\\RtmpGeoCGq"
The random bit at the end would be different for each session. The
part before needs to be a path in which you have write permission.
Actually, I can't start R any more (Error: mkdir R_TempDir does not
work). And it appears that changing the TEMP and TMP environment
variables in Windows does not really affect the choice of TempDir in R ?
Yesterday, the complaint was always related to a random directory name
within the default temporary directory, and there are many such
directories in that path (I would have thought that these are deleted
when shutting the machine down, but apparently the are not), so there
must have been write permission in there once. Today everything is
different, perhaps because of something I did yesterday but don't
remember any more.
If all else fails, I suppose the fastest thing may be a complete
re-install of R.
Best, Ulrike

Any ideas what I can do to fix this?
Perhaps also relevant: I run R CMD check from a DOS window that is
opened with administrator rights.
You should start R from the same window, using just "R" or "Rgui" to
make sure it sees the same environment.
