Another Monk! Sweet.

The first link is the one I reference in the first post. The solutions there do no apply for whatever reason. The discussed outputs in this post also suggest I am running the correct version of mingW.

The second link has nothing there for my n00bin' eye balls. I think (based on the first link) that there is no issue with 32bit v 64bit dlls.

The third link; installed VS community, and added a value to PATH. Rebooted and tried again, no change :(

Here's my PATH in case that gives anyone an idea. Sorry for not including it originally:

D:\Program Files\Python\Python27\;D:\Program Files\Python\Python27\Scr
+ipts;c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\mingw_32\bin;C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\
+javapath;c:\windows\system32;c:\windows;c:\windows\system32\wbem;c:\w
+indows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA

+erl\site\bin;D:\Strawberry\perl\bin;D:\Strawberry\c\x86_64-w64-mingw3
+2;D:\VisualStudio\Common7\IDE\
[download]

EDIT: forgot to mention that I tried installing another module dependent on XS framework(?); namely Time::Piece. This failes in the same manner as installing Math::Random. The issue (possibly) is linked to the compiler (mingW in this case). I added the mingw PATh variable (2nd from the end) myself as there wasn't one to start off with. It made no difference to the error output anyways.

EDIT...again: I just noticed that R has a 32-bit version of mingW installed as part of Rtools. Could this be causing a conflict? If so how should it be resolved? It took quite a bit of effort getting Rtools installed. Bloody windows :/
