D:\mtmorgan\src\R-devel>bin\R CMD config CC
This is on a system where cygwin and Rtools (from your installer) are
under c:/usr (rather than the more usual location for cygwin directly
under c:/). The system has seen many cooks over the years, and there
could well be a misconfiguration somewhere else. PATH (e.g., to make,
sh, ar) seem to point to the right location, versions seem to be
correct, and changing SHELL to sh remedies the situation.
Thanks,
Martin
