[R] Creating packages

[David Scott]

I am trying to create a package. I have succeeded in running R CMD check
and R CMD build on an Intel box running Redhat. I would now like to
build it on Windows as well. There is no compiled code in the package at
all.

I have downloaded the tools from Brian Ripley's Building R for Windows
page, and installed Active Perl 5.8.0. I have set paths, and Rcmd and the
tools are being found ok. I am having trouble though as follows:

C:\dscott\Temp>ls
hyperb  hyperbtemp

C:\dscott\Temp>set TMPDIR=hyperbtemp

C:\dscott\Temp>Rcmd build hyperb
* checking for file 'hyperb/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* preparing 'hyperb':
Error: cannot write to 'hyperbtemp/Rutils113288500'

I get a similar cannot write error if I try and run check. 

System details are

platform i386-pc-mingw32
arch     i386           
os       mingw32        
system   i386, mingw32  
status                  
major    1              
minor    6.1            
year     2002           
month    11             
day      01             
language R
