I've created a /tmp directory so I wouldn't have to change TMPDIR. So far,
so good. But now I get the error below. Anything I forgot regarding tcltk?

Thx,

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.)


Sorry, I always forget to provide that info.

Could you tell me where/how I have to set TMPDIR? I've looked in
MkRules.local but didn't find anything. Or is that an argument at 'make
all recommended'?

Thanks,
Janko

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
