Hi r-help, When I was building my package "whin" on Mac OS X using R CMD build --binary whin the following error occured: $ R CMD build --binary whin * checking for file 'spss/DESCRIPTION' ... OK * preparing 'spss': * checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... ERROR /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources $ but I can install this package with R CMD INSTALL whin. Also, when I logon Mac with another account, the command R CMD build --binary whin worked well and no error occured. Would someone tell me why please? What does R do when it checks the meta-information and what information will be checked? Thank you very much! Whin. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
