Re: [Rd] Small bug in install.packages?
R.home(bin) [1] C:/Program Files/R/R-2.13.0/bin/i386 Weird. Like others, I see 8.3 pathnames. R gets those from a Windows call; what version of Windows are you using? ... and how are you starting R? Startup goes through some contortions to handle all the different possibilities; maybe one of them is missing the path-shortening step. Ok, this was coming from R running within eclipse, via rj.

[Rd] Small bug in install.packages?
When capturing the path to the current R binary, install.packages does: cmd0 - paste(file.path(R.home(bin), R), CMD INSTALL) shouldn't that be cmd0 - shQuote(paste(file.path(R.home(bin), R), CMD INSTALL)) to allow paths with spaces in them (which would be very common on windows)?

Isn't R.home() 8.3 path anyway? BTW: I think you probably meant more something like paste(shQuote(file.path(R.home(bin), R)), CMD INSTALL) since the above won't work ..

It is 8.3 on my install of 2.13.0 (release) and I get the same results with the current R-patched.
