R users,

I recently upgraded (?) to Windows XP from 2000.  I am trying to build an R
package.  I have done this many times on my old system and I am not sure why
it is not working in XP.   

To build the package I call a bat file that specifies all the necessary
paths -- but the "build" file (which appears to be a perl script) is looking
for a "src" subdirectory in the src directory? [which, of course, does not
exist].

I am using rw1081 with the latest ActiveState Perl and tools (from Ripley)
installed

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

**** end of my bat file *****
