I'm afraid that I don't see a problem in that check log -- just a string of OKs -- though there is a warning in the log at http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.7/check/tradeCosts-check.log . Recall, however, that the package builds (and checks) just fine for me under XP SP2, and that the package fails to build under R 2.6.2 on Vista, for which there is no warning in the package check. When you try to build the tradeCosts package *with* the vignettes, do you get the same file-permission error that I do? Have you been able to build other packages with both vignettes and namespaces successfully? Thanks for the suggestions.
