The development version of gtools in the subversion/svn repository here: https://r-gregmisc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/r-gregmisc/trunk/gtools does pass R CMD CHECK on "R version 2.11.0 Patched (2010-04-26 r51822)"
The development version of gdata in the subversion/svn repository here: https://r-gregmisc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/r-gregmisc/trunk/gdata has some R CMD CHECK problems related to perl but it did build and install on my system under the same version of R. 2010/4/28 Uwe Ligges <lig...@statistik.tu-dortmund.de>: > > > On 28.04.2010 17:57, Brian Diggs wrote: >> >> On 4/23/2010 2:19 AM, Uwe Ligges wrote: >>> >>> Right, unfortunately package gtools does not pass the checks under >>> R-2.11.0 and hence is not distributed as a binary via CRAN. >>> >>> Either convince the maintainer (CCing Greg) to fix the bug or try to >>> install the package yourself from sources (and fix the bug yourself, if >>> it matters for you). >>> >>> Best wishes, >>> Uwe Ligges >> >> Does anyone know when gtools will be updated to work with R 2.11.0? >> According to >> http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_gtools.html (as of >> 2010-04-28 11:53:59) it was still throwing errors on devel, patched, and >> release.
