[R] Problem building packages on windows: /cygdrive/c/Rtools/bin/cp: target `xf-))' is not a directory

[michael watson (IAH-C)]

Dear R-Help

My OS is Windows CP, I'm not sure my sessionInfo() is relevant but here it is:

R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14) 
i386-pc-mingw32 

locale:
[1] LC_COLLATE=English_United Kingdom.1252  LC_CTYPE=English_United Kingdom.1252    LC_MONETARY=English_United Kingdom.1252
[4] LC_NUMERIC=C                            LC_TIME=English_United Kingdom.1252    

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base     

I installed RTools211.exe and my path is set to:

c:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop;c:\Program Files\R\R-2.10.1\bin;c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\perl\bin;c:\Rtools\MinGW\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\

I have HTML Help Workshop installed.  

When I execute R CMD build --binary CORNA, I get:

* checking for file 'CORNA/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* preparing 'CORNA':
* checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK
* removing junk files
* checking for LF line-endings in source and make files
* checking for empty or unneeded directories
* building binary distribution
WARNING: some HTML links may not be found
* installing *binary* package 'CORNA' ...
/cygdrive/c/Rtools/bin/cp: target `xf-))' is not a directory
ERROR: installing binary package failed
* removing 'C:/DOCUME~1/Michael/LOCALS~1/Temp/Rinst36806643/CORNA'

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
