Puh, here?s where I?m at right now:
-	I reinstalled Rtools (2.12) to C:\Rtools (full installation) left
the default for R Root dir = C:\R and R 64 root dir = C:\R64, 
-	I noticed that there?s a Tcl directory in C:\R now -> is that what I
need regarding my previous Tcl/Tk issue down the building process? Or do I
still need to install Tcl in any way?
-	I checked my Windows PATH if it exactly reflects the recommendations
in the admin manual, 
-	I set a windows environment variable TMPDIR=C:/temp

And now I?m back to my old error regarding the temp dir because it?s somehow
still set to /tmp.

cannot create /tmp/R4156: directory nonexistent
mv: cannot stat `/tmp/R4156': No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [mkR] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [R] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any ideas? I?m really trying ;-)

Thanks,
Janko
