[Rd] R 2.10.0 devel package check error

2009-08-27 Thread John Fox
Dear list members,

I'm getting the following error from R CMD check under Windows only with R
2.10.0 devel:

The package does in fact install properly on this system, including the help
files, and I've been unable to track down the source of the problem.

The offending package, Rcmdr 2.5-0, is available on R-Forge.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [Rd] R 2.10.0 devel package check error

AFAICS that is already fixed (r49467).

It was a Windows-only problem when building just chm help - I suspect 
the latter did not work in your package.


I should perhaps remind people that R-devel is 'unstable' and as we 
work on the help system it is likely to be particularly unstable on 
Windows (since there are features such as this one that are only 
exercised there).


Reports on R-devel are welcome, but most useful if they are about 
things that have persisted for a few days.

Re: [Rd] R 2.10.0 devel package check error

Dear Brian,

Because this problem surfaced only with the Rcmdr package, and other
packages checked without error, I thought that the problem was in the
package. Also R CMD INSTALL Rcmdr built the chm help pages correctly, as far
as I can see.

Anyway, I'll try again in a few days.

Thank you for the information (and the admonishment).

John
