[R] package bulding in windows.

[Dimitris Rizopoulos]

you have to put Rtools in your path! This has been recently discussed 
on the list (two or three days ago).

Assuming that you have downloaded Rtools from: 
http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools and you have extracted them 
at, e.g., C:\Rtools do the following:

control panel -> system -> advanced -> environment variables -> system 
variables -> path -> edit

and add this: C:\Rtools\bin;

I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris
