Dear all, We are experiencing some trouble when compiling R packages using R 2.6.0 and the new Rtools installer under Windows XP.
(1) First, compiling any package using the new setup stops with an errorrelated to some "/" issue on the inst folder. This folder only contains a CITATION file ---------- Making package FLCore ------------ adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing NAMESPACE file and metadata making DLL ... making FLCoreClasses.d from FLCoreClasses.cpp g++-sjlj -Ic:/progra~1/r/r-2.6.0/include -Wall -O2 -c FLCoreClasses.cpp -o FLCoreClasses.o windres --preprocessor="gcc-sjlj -E -xc -DRC_INVOKED" -I c:/progra~1/r/r-2.6.0/include -i FLCore_res.rc -o FLCore_res.o g++-sjlj -shared -s -o FLCore.dll FLCore.def FLCoreClasses.o FLCore_res.o -Lc:/progra~1/r/r-2.6.0/bin -lR ...

(3) The package compiles on a Linux machine with R 2.6.0 Is there any issue with MinGW or the Rtools he should consider?
