Thanks Uwe For the record, if I have errors in my Rd, where can I find a summary?
The below does indeed work, so I'll build the new package on Linux and then finish off the windows one here. R CMD INSTALL --build CORNA_1.2.tar.gz Thanks again Mick ________________________________________ From: Uwe Ligges [lig...@statistik.tu-dortmund.de] Sent: 13 March 2010 18:08 To: michael watson (IAH-C) Cc: r-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] Problem building packages on windows: /cygdrive/c/Rtools/bin/cp: target `xf-))' is not a directory On 13.03.2010 18:34, michael watson (IAH-C) wrote: > This may be an indication of what is wrong - I do not have an environment > variable R_LIBS No, that's fine. > Anyone can download the package, it's open source: > > http://bioinformatics.iah.ac.uk/tools/download > > I stripped it down to just the R, data and man directories and made a couple > of minor code changes. Works for me in the sense that I get a binary package, *but* there are several issues with the Rd format and it is recommended to use R CMD INSTALL --build CORNA_1.2.tar.gz on the tarball rather than R CMD build --binary CORNA on the source directory. Does the former work for you? If not, please check your R Startup files if they contain strange code and check your tempdir ...
