R devel - Nov 2008 - cat: ./R/Copy: No such file or directory

Hello: 

      What do you recommend I do to get past cryptic error messages from 
"R CMD check", complaining "No such file or directory"?  The
package is
under SVN control, and I reverted to a version that passed "R CMD 
check", without eliminating the error.  The "00install.out" file
is
short and bitter: 


cat: ./R/Copy: No such file or directory
cat: of: No such file or directory
cat: create.fourier.basis.R: No such file or directory
make: *** [Rcode0] Error 1

---------- Making package fda ------------
  adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION
  installing NAMESPACE file and metadata
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `R/Copy', needed by 
`D:/spencerg/statmtds/splines/fda/RForge/fda/fda.Rcheck/fda/R/fda'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [pkg-fda] Error 2
*** Installation of fda failed ***

Removing 'D:/spencerg/statmtds/splines/fda/RForge/fda/fda.Rcheck/fda'

     
      Thanks for any suggestions.  I have a "*.tar.gz" file that I
hope
may not have this problem, but I'm not sure. 

      Thanks,
      Spencer

Just guessing here, but it looks as though an attempt has been made
to execute the following command:

  cat ./R/Copy of create.fourier.basis.R

This may have arisen because there is indeed a file named

  "Copy of create.fourier.basis.R"

but the command was issued to the OS without quotes; or (perhaps
less likely, because of the presence of the "./R/") the line

  "Copy of create.fourier.basis.R"

was intended as a comment in the file, but somehow got read as
a substantive part of the code.

Good luck!
Ted.
