>You are obviously not using the R that comes with Cygwin My R is the Windows version of the program. I am not sure what you mean by "the R that comes with Cygwin". I do not think that cygwin comes with its own version R installed by default, like it default installs perl. In fact, quickly skimming cygwin's setup-x86.exe list of available packages, I do not see an R in there. >and in addition some extra stuff that lives in C:\Rtools. >And apparently, the latter comes with their own Cygwin-based tools >and gets delivered with their own cygwin1.dll. I did not install any extra cygwin tools when I installed Rtools, as I already had a full cygwin installation. In particular, the Rtools check box option to install the cygwin DLLs was left unchecked. >Now, If you had read the error message No, I read that message, and followed its instructions. >you might have found where that second cygwin1.dll lives (and likely still >lives). I should have mentioned in my original email that when I searched for cygwin1.dll, I found but once instance, the expected one in C:\cygwin\bin. >The next time you'll call the tools in whatever order to make that other >(older) cygwin1.dll load first or have the programs in Rtools try to use >the newer cygwin1.dll you will have that very same problem again. I followed the recommended advice from Duncan Murdoch: I installed only cygwin 32 bit, and put Rttols before cygwin in my PATH system env var.
