Re: [R] trouble with installing R-2.12.0 from source on Windows
Having managed to reproduce this with the current Rtools212, I needed tar -zxvf --no-same-owner R-2.12.0.tar.gz (or -xf: the 'z' is optional, and --no-same-permissions would also be a useful sanity check). Although the messages are unclear, they do seem merely to be notices not errors.
