[R] Rcmd check, windows xp, perl (2)

[TEMPL Matthias]

 Thank you for your help. I´m sorry that I found not the right 
 entries in the R-devel. Now, I have again a problem.
 
 After installing all needed things I have run 
 Rcmd INSTALL -l ../mypkg  	and respectively 
 make mypkg 
 
 By running Rcmd check I get following message:
 	* checking for working latex ...Error: environment 
 variable TMPDIR not set (or set to unusable value) and no 	
 default available. At 
 D:\Programme\R\rw1090\share\perl/R/Utils.pm line 153
 
 By running Rcmd built I get following message:
 	Please set TMPDIR to a valid temporary directory
 
 My TMPDIR is on "D:\temp" , which is known by R.
 In "Utils.pm" I have no idea how to set TMPDIR at  sub R_tempfile
 
 Maybe this problem was discussed in Oct 2002.
 
 Can anybody help me again please?
 
 Thanks,
 Matthias
 
 (I´m running R version 1.9.0 on Windows XP, perl 5.8.3)
