R help - Aug 2010 - Problems building own package (Error: "package has been build before R-2.10.0")

Dear List,

 

I’m doing my first baby steps towards developing own R Packages and ran into
the following problem:

 

R CMD check mypackage works fine (no errors, no warnings)

R CMD build mypackage works fine (no errors, no warnings)

R CMD INSTALL –library=”C:\R\R-2.11.1\library”
“something\mypackage\mypackage_1.0.tar.gz” works fine (no errors, no
warnings)

 

However, when I try loading the package in an R-Session (version 2.11.1) via
“library(mypackage)”, R complains about the package being build before
version R-2.10.0 and tells me to rebuild it.

 

Could this possibly be due to the fact that I have multiple R versions
installed (this also includes the most recent one, though)? 

 

To provide you with some details:

-          Running Windows XP

-          All of my R versions are under “C:\R” (versions 2.9.2, 2.10.1,
2.11.1).

-          I installed Rtools (version 2.1.2) to “C:\Rtools” and pointed it
to “C:\R” (as this was the default) to interact with R (should this maybe
have been “C:\R\R-2.11.1”?). I also installed everything else necessary to
build packages (Inno Setup etc.).

-          My PATH is set up as explained in R-Admin manual. Also, the only
R version stated there is “C:\R\R-2.11.1\bin;”.

-          I updated the DESCRIPTION file and specified all .Rd files
correctly.

 

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

 

Thanks a ton,

Janko

So the R that is in your PATH is  < 2.10.x
Change your PATH and add the R version your are actually working with....

Then, you have the package installed under another libarry that is first 
on your search path.

Hi Bill,

thanks for the suggestion. I don't quite get it, but even though version
2.11.1 was the only one in my PATH, it was always version 2.9.1 that was
called when using R CMD. I could only resolve it by uninstalling version
2.9.1, which is totally fine considering we're at 2.11.1 now ;-)
