Re: [R] installing a new package
At the risk of oversimplifying, there are three steps to developing and using a package: 1) build 2) install 3) load Evidently your package does steps 1 and 2 but not 3. Furthermore, it tells you, "not a valid package", and says something that is suggestive of a version problem: "installed < 2.0.0" I think you have to look very carefully at your package and look for what is invalid about it. There must be some requirement of package structure, or contents, or version of something, that your package doesn't meet or violates. Since your package can be installed, go into R, and try require(HighProbability) but set the verbose argument to something that gives more information than the default. Maybe that will give some helpful information, more than the check provides. Either that, or delve deeply into the CMD check script(s) and find out exactly what can trigger the error message. Anyway, that's the best I can come up with, without actually having the package files. -Don At 2:52 PM -0400 3/28/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Dear all, >I have prepared a new package to install in R, I tried to check my package >and I got the following message > >232sub141:~ zahra$ R CMD check /Users/zahra/Desktop/HighProbability >* checking for working latex ...

[R] installing a new package
Dear all, I have prepared a new package to install in R, I tried to check my package and I got the following message 232sub141:~ zahra$ R CMD check /Users/zahra/Desktop/HighProbability * checking for working latex ... OK * using log directory '/Users/zahra/HighProbability.Rcheck' * using R version 2.6.2 (2008-02-08) * checking for file 'HighProbability/DESCRIPTION' ...

OK * checking whether package 'HighProbability' can be installed ... OK * checking package directory ... OK * checking for portable file names ...

ERROR Error in library(HighProbability) : 'HighProbability' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0? Execution halted It looks like this package has a loading problem: see the messages for details. I don't know what the "Error in library(package name)" means and how can I solve it. I work with Mac. I'll appreciate it if you could help me.
