[R-pkg-devel] unable to run 'make clean' in 'src'

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, Georgi et al.:


       Thanks to Georgi, I changed my path.  That led me to a different 
error.  A search for the new error led me to:


https://thecoatlessprofessor.com/programming/cpp/installing-rtools-for-compiled-code-via-rcpp/


That recommended:


install.packages("installr")
library("installr")
install.Rtools()


       I uninstalled Rtools, then installed them using this, and that 
problem disappeared.  Now I'm dealing with '"pdflatex" not found". I'll 
discuss that in a new thread.


       Thanks,
       Spencer Graves
