I'm having trouble with R CMD check of my quantreg package. All is well until I get to: checking running R code from vignettes ... ?rq.Rnw? ... failed ERROR Errors in running code in vignettes: when running code in ?rq.Rnw? when I see a snippet from the vignette code and then: Loading required namespace: MatrixModels When sourcing ?rq.R?: Error: could not find function "sparse.model.matrix" Execution halted This is baffling to me since sparse.model.matrix is in the namespace of Matrix and it should be loaded at this stage since it is required by MatrixModels which has just been pronounced "loaded". I've verified that I can Sweave("rq.Rnw") and texi2pdf("rq.tex", clean=TRUE) without any problem. Any hints greatly appreciated, as always.

When you run Sweave from within R, it sees the search path that was active when you called Sweave; when checking a vignette, it starts with a clean slate. Duncan Murdoch
Dear Roger, How is Matrix loaded? If you use sparse.model.matrix() inside a function from your package you need to declare it as Matrix::sparse.model.matrix() Best regards, ir.
