Hi everyone,
Im a Windows XP user. Im trying to install R-2.1.1 from source, and it
doesnt work. Heres what I have done:
* Got the source code from CRAN : R-2.1.1.tar.gz
* Ran tar zxvf R-2.1.1.tar.gz in a CMD terminal window. Everything
worked fine. I got my R-2.1.1 folder in C:/Rsource.
* I got the iconv.dll file downloaded and unzipped it in
C:/Rsource/src/gnuwin32/unicode. No problem there.
* I also unzipped R_Tcl.zip in C:/Rsource.
* I got the files libpng-1.2.8.tar.gz and jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz, put them
in C:/Rsource/src/gnumin32/bitmap/ and unzipped them there.
* I installed the HTML help workshop in C:/.
* I installed the R tools (the latest version of it) in C:/.
* I installed the Perl 5 in C:/.
* I installed the MinGW (4.1.1) in C:/. For this program, I downloaded
the f771.exe file and replaced the one that was in
/libexec/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/f771.exe.
* I downloaded the files opencow.dll and libunicows.a and installed
them respectively in src/gnuwin32/unicode and MinGW/lib.
* I took the .sty and .fd R files from C:/Rsource/R-2.1.1/share/texmf/
(omsaer.fd, omsaett.fd, omscmtt.fd, Rd.sty, Sweave.sty, ts1aer.fd,
ts1aett.fd and upquote.sty) and copied them in
C:/Rsource/localtexmf/tex. I then went to Start | Programs | MiKteX |
MiKTeK Options | General and updated and refreshed everything.
* I got the following paths in variable environment of the system:
C:\tools\bin\;C:\Perl\bin\;C:\MinGW\bin\;C:\Rsource\latex\miktex\bin\;C:\HTML_Help_Workshop\;C:\Rsource\Tcl\bin\;
I open a CMD terminal window, and run make. I got the error message that we
can see at the bottom of this terminal window. I then thought it was
MiKTeX that was not well installed. I did it again, and reran the make.
Heres what I got:

I cant get ride of this error. I dont know where it is coming from or
what to do about it. Any help would be really appreciated.
Thank you for your precious time,
