I'm having trouble building a package (named reap) under R1.2.1 Windows2000. I
successfully ran
d:\R\src\library rcmd check reap
but when I run
d:\R\src\library rcmd build reap
I get the message:
 Please set TMPDIR to a valid temporary directory

I've tried setting TMPDIR to d:/temp via:
1) My Computer properties environment variables,
2) at the command line,
3) in Rprofile, and
4) in .Renviron

with no success. In looking at the Perl script "build" the error seems to come
from:

if($WINDOWS){
    $tmpdir = R_getenv("TMPDIR", "/TEMP");
    die "Please set TMPDIR to a valid temporary directory\n"
        unless (-d $TMPDIR);
    $R_exe = "Rterm.exe";
    $MAKE = "make";
    @knownoptions = ("help|h", "version|v", "binary", "docs:s",
                    "use-zip", "use-zip-help", "use-zip-data");
}

I've read "Writing R Extension" and the various FAQs and help but haven't be
able to figure out what R_getenv() is doing.
Thanks for your help!

Tom
