Folks: sessionInfo() R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30) Platform: i386-pc-mingw32/i386 (32-bit)

However, 1. If I have an Rprofile.site in my etc startup directory, if I am in the ...\top directory and try to check or build the top\mypackage source package, I can only do so by giving (in the Windows shell, of course) the full path name to R CMD build/check, e.g. R CMD build pathtoTop\top\mypackage . R CMD build mypackage yields the error: ERROR cannot change to directory 'test' 2. However, if I remove (e.g. change the name) of Rprofile.site, then R CMD build/check mypackage works fine. Note that my Rprofile.site file DOES contain a setwd() statement to some other directory; if I comment out this statement, then I also do not need to use the full path name even with the Rprofile.site file there. So my question is: Is the documentation wrong? -- Is there an environmental or option I need to set/change? -- Is this a Windows "feature" subtlety? Many thanks. -- Bert -- Bert Gunter Genentech Nonclinical Biostatistics Internal Contact Info: Phone: 467-7374 Website: http://pharmadevelopment.roche.com/index/pdb/pdb-functional-groups/pdb-biostatistics/pdb-ncb-home.htm [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
