I get the error Error : evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / options(expressions=)?
during a 'R CMD check ...' on one of my packages. The reason seems to be that this package is mutually dependent on another one (i.e. the DESCRIPTION files of package A lists package B under "Depends" and vice versa). this might be bad design (having bits in both packages needed by the other), but I believe prior to R 2.9. this did not cause trouble. now the log file of the 'check' is something like Installing *source* package 'roiutils' ... ** R ** exec ** preparing package for lazy loading Loading required package: roiutils Loading required package: fzrutils =======================CUT (many more of the same) ======================== Loading required package: roiutils Loading required package: fzrutils Loading required package: roiutils Error : evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / options(expressions=)? i.e. it seems that R loads both packages again and again. what am I missing/doing wrong? thanks in advance joerg PS: platform powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.1 arch powerpc os darwin8.11.1 system powerpc, darwin8.11.1 status major 2 minor 9.2 year 2009 month 08 day 24 svn rev 49384 language R version.string R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24) ______________________________________________ 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.
