I have a fix in R-patched for this: it seems highly dependent on the version of the tools in use. For rw2000, do avoid - spaces in the path to the package sources - backslashes in the path to the package sources Both were warned against, of course. -- Brian D.

I'll try to debug. Uwe Ligges then after updating help pages I get: preparing package xx for lazy loading Error in tools:::.read_description(file) : file '/DESCRIPTION' does not exist Execution halted make: *** [lazyload] Error 1 *** Installation of xx failed *** (Yes, I have a DESCRIPTION file). Having made a few changes here and there in some of the functions I transferred them one at a time to a new folder and tried to build it there. The probelm seems to be that once I exceed 5 functions in the package the above error appears, with 5 or fewer functions it works OK. Any ideas?
