To the best of my knowledge, I did. I upgraded to R 1.9.1 to no
avail. What else should I look for at this point? Is there an
R package developer setup lint utility?



Here's my script:

@cls
@SETLOCAL
@set RBINDIR=C:\R\rw1091\bin
@set TOOLSBINDIR=C:\Rtools\bin
@set MINGWBINDIR=C:\MinGW\bin
@set PERLBINDIR=C:\Perl\bin
@set TEXBINDIR=C:\PROGRA~1\TeXLive\bin\win32
@set HCCBINDIR=C:\PROGRA~1\HTMLHE~1
@set PATH=%TOOLSBINDIR%;%RBINDIR%;%MINGWBINDIR%;%PERLBINDIR%;%TEXBINDIR%;%HCCBINDIR%;%WINDIR%\system32;%WINDIR%
@echo PATH=%PATH%
Rcmd build -binary getdim
Rcmd check getdim
@ENDLOCAL
