Re: [Rd] Package (PR#13475)
I had the same normalizePath error recently on a new laptop, with a fresh install of R 2.8.1 and an attempt to install lme4. First attempt: package 'Matrix' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked Error in normalizePath(path) : path[1]: The system cannot find the file specified Second attempt: package 'Matrix' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked package 'mlmRev' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked package 'MEMSS' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked package 'lme4' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked Error in normalizePath(path) : path[1]: The system cannot find the file specified The irreproducibility made me wonder... so I turned off Norton's auto-protect, which has a habit of scanning files on the fly when requested and that often delays file opening. The error disappeared, at least that once and for subsequent installations of NADA and the much larger rggobi install. The main reason for logging this post is to suggest a posible cause and workround. But if it does turn out to be a consistent issue, perhaps it would be worth checking for timeout issues related to normalizePath or related routines in a future update?

Well, you need to ask Symantec to fix Norton, hence this is the wrong address.

You can put a trace on normalizePath to get the name of the offending
input file name. E.g.,
trace(normalizePath, Quote(cat(normalizePath: path=, path,
\n)))
Tracing function normalizePath in package utils

Tracing normalizePath(lib) on entry

It looks like your second call to normalizePath caused the problem.
If the error message from normalizePath included the offending file
name it would be easier to track down the problem. E.g.,
normalizePath(c(., no such file.txt))
Error in normalizePath(path) :
path[2]=no such file.txt: The system cannot find the file
specified
instead of just
normalizePath(c(., no such file.txt))
Error in normalizePath(path) :
path[2]: The system cannot find the file specified
The following, barely tested, patch does this on Windows. I don't
know if
...[printf]... %ls, filenameToWchar(string,FALSE)
is the proper way to display an R string.
