I have a local library with functions that interrogates an institution-specific web API, so is not of interest to anyone outside of Mayo. For some reason the R CMD INSTALL command fails.

It's hard to diagnose this without your package sources / a reproducible example. Shot in the dark: one thing worth checking is that you don't have an entry in your `.Rbuildignore` that's removing files you don't expect it to (maybe that's causing R to strip out the 'doc/index.html' file) Kevin On Fri, May 15, 2015 at 12:54 PM, Therneau, Terry M., Ph.D. <therneau at mayo.edu> wrote:> I have a local library with functions that interrogates an > institution-specific web API, so is not of interest to anyone outside of > Mayo.

[Rd] Installation error with R-devel --solved
Bingo! So very obvious once it was pointed out.
Thanks,
