If the correct version of make is not on the path, package compilation can lead to errors like this:

ERROR: compilation failed for package '....'
* removing 'C:/R/R-devel/library/....'

This is because the correct version of rtools is not on the path. To fix this, you should add the following line to your .Renviron file:

PATH = "${RTOOLS40_HOME}\usr\bin;${PATH}"
