Hi,

   Following your advice, I install R tools from
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/
Rtools215.exe <http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/Rtools215.exe>

   Files are automatically installed here:
C:\Rtools

I run the code again and get the message

Creating directories ...
Error in package.skeleton(list = c("f", "g", "d", "e"), name = "test1pkg",
 :
  directory 'D:/R/pkgtest/test1pkg' already exists
> R CMD build test1pkg
Error: unexpected symbol in "R CMD"

   Is there anything else I need to do ?

Miao
