Hi,

I have just updated R from version 2.8.1 to version 2.9.1. I am running Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 3.

With the update, I decided to update a set of packages that I maintain by compiling them for the new version. Everything worked fine except for one package. This package is unique (among the six I was working on) in that is stored on a UNIX-based file server that is exported to the Windows network via Samba. The root of that network path is mapped to drive "N:" on the local machine.

'Rcmd check' fails for this package under 2.9.1. The error message in '00install.out' is: "Error: ERROR: no permission to install to directory 'N:/krc/Umpire/R-Package/Umpire.Rcheck'"

'Rcmd check' works for this package under 2.8.1.

'Rcmd check' works for this package if the directory is copied onto a local hard drive instead of the network drive.

'Rcmd build' and 'Rcmd build --binary' work under both versions.

It would be nice if someone could figure out what has changed and fix it....

Best,
   Kevin Coombes
