...Lengthy notes SNIPPED Simon, Unless I am missing something here, I think that you are making this more difficult than you need to. Thanks I believe to Uwe Ligges, there appears to be a version of the fields package already compiled for R 1.7.x on Windows at: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/1.7/fields_1.3-1.zip Is there a reason that you cannot use this?
