similar to: Package structure question (progress!)

Thanks to Max Kuhn, Jeff Laake, Duncan Murdoch, and Dirk Eddelbuettel, for their tips that eventually helped me get my teeth around this one. I'm in the process of documenting my experience, in case others find it useful. Please email me if you want to add to this or clarify anything. However, to close this thread, in a nutshell, working in Linux: 1. package.skeleton(). 2. Make obvious

At the encouragement of many at UseR, I'm trying to build my first real package. I have no C/Fortran code, just plain old R code, so it should be rocket science. On a Linux box, I used package.skeleton() to create a basic package containing just one "hello world" type of function. I edited the DESCRIPTION file, changin the package name appropriately. I edited the hello.Rd file.

Hi there, I have been using the example provided bellow for a while, and It was working without any problem. Nevertheless, just since 2-3 days is not working, probably because I did update.packages(). I have tried to re-install the older versions of the packages Hmisc() and xtable(), but still does not work. Can you run this example, and tell me if you got the same problems? I use

Hi, I have tried to install the R package Rcplex on windows xp without success. I have only cplex_studio124.win-x86-32 version. I have modified the makevars.win file as indicated in the installation guide ( http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rcplex/INSTALL ), then I zipped the whole folder to order an installation from a zipped file (utils :menuInstallLocal()) The message I had is file

Hi, I'm working on a package and got some problems. After I've done R CMD check and build I get the package.tar.gz which I can install under Linux without any problems. Now I wanted to have a Windows version. I heard that I only have to zip the package folder. That worked once, but now the package can't be installed. I got 1 warning while I did R CMD check, and this was 1 not

No, I do not get the same as you. I have tested with R-devel and R-patched compiled today. When I do R CMD Rd2pdf mpra I get (as reported a few days ago) Hmm ... looks like a package Converting Rd files to LaTeX Error : mpra/man/mpra-package.Rd:6: file './DESCRIPTION' does not exist whereas you (Kurt) reports that this works on zTree.

Hi, I am having a problem building binary packages for Windows recently.
