Dear all

Thank you all for you fast reply.

As I said, everything on my laptop and Mac is identical, here are my user defined environment variables:

HOME: c:\home\Rabbitus
INCLUDE: C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include;C:\Programme\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include
LIB: C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\VC\lib;C:\Programme\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Lib;C:\root\lib
PATH: C:\Rtools\bin;C:\Rtools\perl\bin;C:\Rtools\MinGW\bin;C:\Programme\HTML Help Workshop;C:\Programme\R\R-2.8.0\bin;C:\root\bin;
MSVSPATH: C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin
ROOTSYS: c:\root
R_LIBS: cd "C:\home\Rabbitus\CRAN"
TMPDIR: c:\home\Rabbitus\temp
I think Brian was right, your PATH is not what is shown above. (That doesn't include the Windows directories, for instance.)

Were you running Rcmd INSTALL from a shell? Which shell? What does the shell report as your PATH just before running it? On Windows, the PATH is handled in a fairly complicated way. I believe this description is correct, but it may not apply to all Windows versions:

The thing you set from within the Control Panel only applies to the currently running copy of Explorer. Other applications that are currently running (e.g. an existing CMD shell) do not have their path updated.

There are both system and user level PATH settings. Explorer combines them by putting the system settings *first*. Within a CMD shell, you can override the PATH completely, just by setting it to a new set of directories.

So it looks as though your problem is that your are showing us the user settings for the PATH, but not the system settings, and the system settings are messing you up.

I have just checked again, all variables are identical on both systems.

Could there be another reason?
What about the registry setting mentioned by Gabor Grothendieck?

However, when I install my package on my Windows XP laptop, everything is ok:

To my knowledge I have only made one difference when installing everything necessary to build my package: On my laptop I have installed Rtools27.exe, while on WinXP on my Mac I have installed Rtools28.exe.

Do you know what the reason for the error might be?

Thank you in advance.
