Hello all, I was checking the newest update of my library before submitting it to CRAN, using R 2.15.0 and Rtools for Windows 215 using Rcmd in the Command Prompt, on my x64 Windows7 laptop. I recently heard that for checking packages for CRAN submission one should use the option --as-cran; previously I was submitting packages, so I was trying that for the first time. The check proceeds fine until it tries running the examples, at which point it produces the following error message:> pkgname <- "paleotree" > source(file.path(R.home("share"), "R", "examples-header.R")) > options(warn = 1) > options(pager = "console") > library('paleotree')Loading required package: ape Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths())) : there is no package called 'Matrix' Error: package/namespace load failed for 'paleotree' Execution halted My package depends on ape, but not Matrix. Matrix is installed, though, on my workstation, as are the other ape dependencies. The check works fine by default and with the --timings option. What is different about --as-cran that makes it unable to find Matrix? Thanks for the help, -Dave Bapst, UChicago -- David Bapst Dept of Geophysical Sciences University of Chicago 5734 S.

paleotree imports phangorn which depends on Matrix, so your example
does indeed depend on Matrix.
A possible reason is that your installed Matrix was built for a
different version of R, i.e. check packageDescription("Matrix").
