Hello,

I'm moving from R 2.2.1 (Winows XP) to R 2.5.1 and have problems with 
installing "myfuncs", which worked OK in 2.2.1

R CMD INSTALL myfuns
# gives
installing to ''


---------- Making package myfuncs ------------
  adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION
  installing R files
  installing man source files
  installing indices
  installing help
 >>> Building/Updating help pages for package 'myfuncs'

  added.var.plot                    text    html    latex   example
  jit.plot                          text    html    latex   example
  waldtest                          text    html    latex   example
  preparing package myfuncs for lazy loading
Warning in list.files(lib, pattern = paste("^", pkg_regexp, sep = ""), 
full = TR
UE) :
         list.files: '' is not a readable directory
Error in findpack(package, lib.loc) : there is no package called 
'myfuncs'
Execution halted
make: *** [lazyload] Error 1
*** Installation of myfuncs failed ***

Removing '/myfuncs'
# end

"installing to '' " at the start appears to be the problem

I have install Rtools 2.5.1 appropriately ( I hope)
my PATH looks like this:

PATH=C:\Program\Rtools\MinGW\bin;C:\Program\R\Rtools\bin;c:\program\imagemagick-
6.1.8-q16;C:\Program\TeXLive\bin\win32;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS

To me looks as if R don't know where to install - any help available?

Sincerely Fredrik Lundgren
