[Rd] Error in R CMD INSTALL on Windows XP using Rtools28

[cstrato]

Dear all

Thank you all for you fast reply.

As I said, everything on my laptop and Mac is identical, here are my 
user defined environment variables:

HOME: c:\home\Rabbitus
INCLUDE: C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 
9.0\VC\include;C:\Programme\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include
LIB: C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 
9.0\VC\lib;C:\Programme\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Lib;C:\root\lib
PATH: 
C:\Rtools\bin;C:\Rtools\perl\bin;C:\Rtools\MinGW\bin;C:\Programme\HTML 
Help Workshop;C:\Programme\R\R-2.8.0\bin;C:\root\bin;
MSVSPATH: C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin
ROOTSYS: c:\root
R_LIBS: cd "C:\home\Rabbitus\CRAN"
TMPDIR: c:\home\Rabbitus\temp

I have just checked again, all variables are identical on both systems.

Could there be another reason?
What about the registry setting mentioned by Gabor Grothendieck?

Best regaards
Christian
