Q: 

R inline compilation of C code fails on Windows

Within the Windows XP Pro RGui, can't compile inline C code. Get error: 'sh' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Clearly there is a configuration error, but can't find a way to resolve it either in R documentation or via googling. Must be a simple solution!

The same R code works fine on linux: the inline C compiles and runs correctly.

+1  A: 

You need the RTools collection as described in detail in Appendix D of the R Installation and Administration manual.

Thanks, but that appendix deals with creating R packages. I do NOT want to do that, just want to use cfunction() to create inline C code.

You still need the same toolchain.
Dirk Eddelbuettel  2010-08-09 18:03:28
Indeed, you are right. That, plus manual fixes to the PATH and copying cygwin1.dll to the RTools\bin folder, has me up and running. Thanks!!!!!
