I am trying to make a R development environment in my computer. During last hour,
I could successfully install RTools and RCpp. But when I tried the last element RInside package, I get following error. I can see the reason is because g++ or make does not recognize path including space (Program Files -> Files) But how can I change the make file or batter question is … where is the make file producing following compilation?

> install.packages(c("RInside"),type="source")

    Install in a path that does not include spaces — I like C:/opt/R/R-library/ for my R packages.

    The final link command fails because of the space.

    This question has been asked and answered numerous times before here and on the rcpp-devel list.
