Dear R People:

I'm trying to install R-2.12.0 from source on a Netbook with Windows XP.

I have installed the Rtools.exe (version 2.12)

However, when I enter "tar xvfz R-2.12.0.tar.gz"

I keep getting the message "cannot change owneship to uid 501, gid 20
invalid argument"

Has anyone else run across this, please?

Thanks,
Sincerely,
Erin
