[R] problem in installing a package

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.
