Dear Gabor
Thank you for this interesting link.
Since I have also to set the PATH and LIB for Visual Studio AND for
ROOT, I am not sure if this would be an option for me.
Best regards
Christian

which automatically sets all environment variables for you including the
PATH making it unnecessary to set your PATH or any environment

Dear Duncan
Thank you for this explicit explanation, you are right:
When setting the system variable "Path" (as administrator) in addition to
setting the user variable "PATH" (as user), now everything works fine.
Interestingly, setting the system variable "Path" on my laptop with Rtools27
seems not to be necessary.
May I suggest that this could be clarified in "R Installation and
Administration" since there only the user variable "PATH" is mentioned (as
far as I see).
Thank you all one more time.
Best regards
Christian

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?
Best regaards

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.
Best regards
Christian
