I tried loading R-patched and R2.5dev (they both have a time stamp for 11 Jan early morning): http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/R-2.4.1pat-win32.exe http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/R-2.5.0dev-win32.exe Neither of them loads under wine. I am inclined to fix wine itself rather than requiring changes in mingw or R to cope. So as a first thing I'd like to try build the older 2.4.0 with the new tools (this is not a request for help - I think I'll try the cross-tools myself) - because that should eliminate any possibillity that some newly added code triggers difference between wine and real windows. I'd like to know one thing though - was there any specific reason for the mingw upgrade after 2.4.0, or was it just a routine latest-is-greatest upgrade?
