Is this on Windows? (Please do consult the posting guide and tell us
the 'at a minimum' information we asked for.)
If so, it seems you forget the bit about setting TMPDIR right at the
top of the section on 'Building the core files':
Set the environment variable @env{TMPDIR} to point to a writable
directory, with a path specified with forward slashes and no spaces.
(The default is @file{/tmp}, which may not be useful on Windows.)

Dear list,
I've just tried to compile R 2.12.0 from source as I think I found an error
in a C function that I would like to fix and check before I go ahead with
posting the presumed error.
I've got the R Toolset 2.12 installed and configured correctly and followed
the Admin manual closely (including the entire bitmap stuff; exact same
versions as in the manual). Also, all anti virus software is turned off (as
it complained on some .exe). I have Admin rights on my box.
When I run 'make all recommended' I get the following error after a while:
cannot create /tmp/R5436: directory nonexistent
mv: cannot stat `/tmp/R5436': No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [mkR] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [R] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
Any ideas what this is about? Seems that the compiler can't create a temp
directory because of a missing directory.
Thanks for any hints,
Janko
