Thanks for the offer; but I think wine should cope as anything runs under windows should run, so I am inclined on playing with wine a bit to see if I can get it to tell me a bit more about what it is not happy about 2.4.1. wine just should not be sensitive to mingw versions. <snipped> Hin-Tak ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
