Please read the R-admin manual and as it suggests use the candidate
compilers, now gcc 3.4.5.
You also need the Rtools at the front of your path, so you find find.exe
not FIND.exe.
Finally, it seems to be requiring latex, so you may need to install that
(I am really not sure why though).

I installed the MinGW-5.0.0 compilers today (gcc-3.4.2 is now contained in the

for individual files, I applied the Id.exe and f771.exe fixes from the
'Building R for Windows' page
(http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/#ldbug). More compiler errors were
obtained. I then checked my Pearl version (5.8.7) and updated my R tools since
I couldn't tell how old they were. At that point, I obtained the following

Removing 'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-22~1.1/library/matrix'
Restoring previous 'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-22~1.1/library/matrix'
If I need to read one of R's many friendly manuals, I'd appreciate a reference
to which one and approximately which section.
Thanks.
