[R] problem compiling R-1.6.1 on WinNT: pcre

[Liaw, Andy]

Kevin,

Thanks for the reply.  However, I'm not clear on what's needed.  The INSTALL
file simply says to unpack pcre and copy the files to src/extra/pcre.  All
that's there are the source files.  I don't see what effect putting
src/extra/pcre in the PATH would do (I just tried and got the same error).
The list of things that are mentioned in INSTALL that need to be in the PATH
does not include pcre.  Does that mean that I need to compile pcre _first_
and have it in the path?

Cheers,
Andy

Have you checked if the PCRE is in your PATH?

Cheers,
