[R] R CMD SHLIB setup problem...

I've compared my Makevars to someone else's and we both have the same
thing:

CFLAGS+= -I$(RHOME)/src/gnuwin32/graphapp

So I assume this is correct? (And the compiler is definitely GNU make). 

When I tried to recompile another bit of C code I got the following
error:

make: *** No rule to make target `C:/PROGRA~1/R/rw1081/src/include/R.h',
needed by `filter_norm.o'.
 Stop.

So it looks like its looking for the R 1.8.1 versions of R.h. I just
can't work out why. I've dumped SET to a file and checked that nothing
on the path or any of the environment variables point to the old
directory. It all looks OK to me. 

As far as I am aware nothing here uses the windows registry so I am
assuming there shouldn't be any problems there.  

Cheers 
T.

Haven't had the error, but the usual suspects are:

 - You're getting the wrong make.  Follow the readme.packages
instructions for setting up your path, and make sure "make --version"
tells you you're running GNU Make.

 - Something has messed up your Makevars file.  Does it look normal in
a reasonable text editor?
