Thanks for your reply. here is my path: I:<DIR>\Rtools\bin; i:<DIR>\Rtools\perl\bin; I:<DIR>\Rtools\MinGW\bin; I:<DIR>\R-2.8.1\bin;
I downloaded my R source from the cran. the command I executed from within R-2.8.1\src\gnuwin32 is: 'make all recommended' I'd love to just install the binary, but I'm trying to compile rpy2 which complains about R not being compiled as a library. thanks for whatever help you can provide.
