...ckage with R 2.15.1 32bit and win7. I basically follow the routine in Steven Mosher's blog http://stevemosher.wordpress.com/step-10-build/ After I fixed the path, and built the skeleton of the package, I started command prompt and used the following commands in building my package Rcmd check myPackageName Rcmd build myPackageName Rcmd check myPackageName.tar.gz Rcmd INSTALL --build myPackageName.tar.gz Rcmd check myPackageName.zip The last check command return me an error Rcmd check myPackageName.zip Error in rawToChar(block[seq_len(ns)]) : embedded nul in string: 'PK\003\004\n\0\0\0\0...

...I think this represents about 50% growth in the last year. Not bad! Does anyone have a program that graphs the growth of R packages? I don't know if that historical data is around.

Hi, I?m trying to figure out how to put images into my package?s help documentation. I?ve gotten to the point where I can put the images in the /inst/doc/ directory. I have also gotten to the point where I have package checks without any warnings. I couldn?t find the terms ?picture,? ?image,? or ?graphic? in a text search within the Writing R Extensions: 2 Writing R documentation files

I am building R packages using R 1.7.0pat under Windows 2000 Professional. All works fine except that I haven't been able to figure out how to use the --docs=TYPE option. I would like to optionally turn off building chm help. I have tried build commands like rcmd build --binary --docs=TYPE mypackagename In place of "TYPE" I have tried things like "html", "text", "chm", "t", "h", "HTML" etc, etc, but all of these break the build entirely. What are the actual options for --docs=TYPE? I have tried all the documentation sources...

R-helpers, Is there an easy way to call an external (C) program using .C or .Call without including the code in a package.

Initially I tried: .Call('filepath.to.c.function', arg1) and got this error: Error in .Call("filepath.to.c.function", "arg1", :

Hello, I need a bit of handholding with R, specifically, with writing packages for it.
