Hi.
I am having difficulty following section 1.6.6 of the R-extensions manual.
I am trying to update the Brobdingnag package to include a NAMESPACE file (the
untb package requires the Brobdingnag package).
Without the NAMESPACE file, the package passes R CMD check cleanly.
However, if I include a NAMESPACE file, even an empty one, R CMD check
gives the following error in 00install.out:
wt118:~/packages% cat Brobdingnag.Rcheck/00install.out
* installing *source* package ‘Brobdingnag’ ...

AFAICS, all the setGeneric() calls are pretty much like this:
setGeneric("getX",function(x){standardGeneric("getX")})
Can anyone advise?
thank you
Robin
