[Rd] typo in docs for unlink()

2009-11-10 Thread Tony Plate

Having PP.o and PP.so will break things if (as I suspect) they are from a different architecture. Your colleague's testing should have picked that up (R CMD check will warn you) but you can try deleting them. Also, I think you have ignored all the comments about not installing R into a path
