I'm using R in Windows XP. I created a package myself. I've used R CMD check to check it. Everything seems OK except the latex. I get the error message: * checking bbHist-manual.tex ... ERROR LaTeX errors when creating DVI version. This typically indicates Rd problems. I ignored it because I didn't want to submit it to CRAN. Then I tried to use R CMD INSTALL to install it. First I get: "mv: cannot move `c:/PROGRA~1/R/rw2011/library/bbHist' to `c:/PROGRA~1/R/rw2011/library/00LOCK/bbHist ': Permission denied" and a bunch of making DLL errors. Then when I tried a second time, I get: open(c:/progra~1/r/rw2011/library/bbHist/DESCRIPTION): No such file or directory I can see a 00LOCK directory is created in the c:/PROGRA~1/R/rw2011/library directory. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks. Claire

The 00LOCK directory is used to save the older package in order to be able to restore it if a new installtion fails. Something went wrong and you have to remove it manually now, I guess.

Hi Claire, For the R CMD check error... It seems that you used some special characters, such as "_", in your Rd files so that Latex can not handle them. Try to add the escape charatcer "\" before these special characters. HTH, Ting-Yuan On Wed, 5 Oct 2005, Claire Lee wrote:> I'm using R in Windows XP.
