Does your setting of TMPDIR, TEMP or TMP have a space in it?
From the R-admin manual:
You may need to set TMPDIR to the absolute path to a suitable temporary
directory: the default is 'c:/TEMP'. (Use forward slashes and do not
use a path including spaces.)
The documentation is that manual, not 'Murdoch's page', whatever that is.

Hi,
I'm trying to compile the package biglm, but when I build it with R CMD build
biglm, it failed :

But when I install it, the installation is performed but I still have 'can't

Actually, I have no directory local in 'document and settings' but a
directory local settings exists. What's wrong with my installation? I install
all tools as recommanded on Murdoch's page. Maybe R CMD build tries to use a
temp file? in 'document and settings'?
I use R 2.7.1 with Windows xp pro.
Thanks in advance
Christophe
