Error installing rPython (scrdir)

I am trying to install rPython but I get the following error about the scrdir installation. The scr file (makevars.win), as well as the configure.win file have the same path. The path I am using is:

#!/bin/sh
echo PKG_LIBS=-LD:/Programs/Python27/libs -lpython27
echo PKG_CFLAGS=-I"D:/Programs/Python27/include"

And this is the error I get on R.

install("D:/Programs/R-3.4.2/library/rPython")
Installing rPython
"D:/Programs/R-3.4.2/bin/x64/R" --no-site-file --no-environ --no-save --no-restore --quiet CMD INSTALL  \
  "D:/Programs/R-3.4.2/library/rPython" --library="D:/Programs/R-3.4.2/library" --install-tests 

ERROR: cannot install to srcdir for package 'rPython'
* removing 'D:/Programs/R-3.4.2/library/rPython'
Error: Command failed (1)

I am using a windows 10 machine 64 bits. Any suggestions?

Solution

  • I managed to solve this issue by adding "C:/Rtools" to the variable Path in the "environment variables" of my computer.
