Please forgive any mis-post, and do feel free to point me to a more appropriate list if this isn't properly R-dev. I have a package on R-forge that shows correct linux and other *nix builds, but no windows build. The log for the patched version shows the error below, which appears to be due to a lack of /src files, a problem that does not halt the *nix builds. The package contains no compiled code (src is intentionally empty). Log as follows: * installing to library 'R:/lib/R/CRAN/2.12' * installing *source* package 'metRology' ... ** libs *** arch - i386 Error in file.copy(Sys.glob("src/*"), ss, recursive = TRUE) : no files to copy from * removing 'R:/lib/R/CRAN/2.12/metRology' Run time: 1.27 seconds. Advice would be welcome on what I can do about it...? Steve Ellison ******************************************************************* This email and any attachments are confidential.

Thanks for the advice; blindingly simple. I was foxed by the fact that the R-forge linux 'builds' ran successfully with warning but not error. Regret that I couldn't provide R version detail, but the problem was the build at the r-forge end and not my own installed version of R; I could only tell you what the R-forge log told me.
