Hi, this sounds like a Windows-specific configuration issue with R. Please try to remove and reinstall the latest version of R and Rtools.

Hi!
Thank you for your quick response.
I did everything as you said, but the result is the same

[mhahsler]

I just installed R 4.3.0, RStudio, and RTools4.3 on a Windows machine, and it works for me fine. You may have some configuration file that messed up the compiler...

I completely reinstalled Windows7 with disk formatting))) but the problem remained the same, moreover, it seems to me that I can not install any package in binary form.
I don't understand what the problem is, but the problem seems to be on my end.

[mhahsler]

Maybe it is Windows 7? I have tried it on Windows 10.

[mytarmail]

Just installed clean windows 10, also R tools and R, nothing else..
getting exactly the same problem.

Maybe I need to install something for Windows, some kind of library or something else ???

[mhahsler]

I think this is a Windows problem with where your R installation is (F: instead of C:)...

Your output right before the error says:

gcc -std=c99 -Wall -Wextra -Wconversion -Wno-unused-parameter -D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1 -pedantic -c  -DNDEBUG -DQUIET -O3 -funroll-loops -Iutil/src -Imath/src  -Itract/src -Iapriori/src -Ieclat/src -Ifpgrowth/src -Isam/src  -Irelim/src -Icarpenter/src -Iista/src -Iaccretion/src -IF:/Program Files/R-4.3.0/include fim4r.c -o fim4r.o

R-4.3.0/include contains R.h, but it specifies the include -IF:/Program Files/R-4.3.0/include. I guess that is the F: drive? I think gcc does not understand this including the space.

On my Windows installation with R on C:, it uses -IC:/PROGRA~1/R/R-43~1.0/include which is the correct translation without spaces. Maybe this is a bug in R and it only fixes paths on C:?

Sorry about this. I do not use Windows so I am not sure why this happens...

[mytarmail]

Problem solved.
R must be MANDATORY installed on the C drive, then the installation of the package is fine.
Thank you very much for your help
