[R] problem when installing a R package

[pmouilhade]

Hello all and happy new year !!!

I had a package that worked fine but since I switched to R 2.15.2, It is not
compatible anymore (I have the error message: not installed for
'arch=i386').

I have therefore updated Rtools 2.16 and Path variables as follow:
PATH=C:\Rtools\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C\Rtools\MinGW\bin;C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-2.15.2\bin\i38
6;C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-2.15.2\include;C:\PROGRA~1\MIKTEX~2.9\miktex\bin;C:\WINDOWS;C:
\WINDOWS\system32;C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin;C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin32

When I run the following cmd I have an error
C:\tmp>R CMD INSTALL --build DistributionS4


* installing to library 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.2/library'
* installing *source* package 'DistributionS4' ...

  CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this

  Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:

ERREUR : loading failed

* restoring previous 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.2/library/DistributionS4'

I don't know what's going on, why permission is denied and why is it trying
to reach such a directory (which by the way exists).

Can somebody help me ???

Many thanks in advance
