R devel - Dec 2022 - [R] I do not want that R CMD build removes temp directory

Yes:

$ R CMD INSTALL --help | grep error
      --no-clean-on-error	do not remove installed package on error

But probably more commonly used way is to install the package from its unpacked
directory as that avoids the use of temporary directories in the first place.

In you case you can also use --no-test-load and the non-functional package will
still be installed so you can inspect it.

Cheers,
Simon

PS: please don't cross-post

Thank you Simon,

It seems not to be related to the R package but rather to the OS,
(just got the same error when installing the shiny R package from
CRAN).
I am on an M1 mac running Windows ARM in Parallels. Installed a
x86_64-w64 R version.



"** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'shiny'
* removing 'C:/Users/witoldwolski/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.2/shiny'
