A data file that I’d like to use in my “oce” package is quite large, and compresses well, so I thought of putting a compressed version into inst/extdata. I want my documentation to show how to uncompress the file, partly because these files tend to compress so well that I think users might like to store them in gzipped form.
Naturally, I want to test my code using R-devel in addition to the ‘release’ version that I have on my box. Since I’ve never been able to get R-devel installed properly on OSX, I thought of submitting to win-builder. I got errors as below my signature line. What I don’t understand is the “Invalid argument”, which seems to be different from the “No such file or directory” that I would expect to get if there were no file. Any ideas on how to proceed?
