Hola! I got past the problems I asked about two days ago, thanks. No I am updating CRAN package asypow (the daily package check on CRAN gave warnings due to .Rd problems, fixed). Now it PASSED Rcmd check (WindowsXP home edition, rw2000dev, on a new toshiba laptop, if that matters.) but then Rcmd build --binary
Kjetil, works for me with the asypow 1.0, R-2.0.0 alpha (2004-09-16). Which version of R (I mean the date, a lot of stuff changed during the last 2 weeks re. lazy loading and related bug fixes on Windows)? If it still does not work with a recent alpha version, please send me the source package.
OK, just downloaded latest rw2000dev, but before installing, trying what you says below:
What happens if you try R CMD INSTALL --build
With LazyLoad TRUE this gives the same error:
Kjetil, I tested the package and it appears to binary-build perfectly on my machine. Have you made a clean build from scratch (don't only overwrite any old directories of R)? Have you set all the paths correctly and are all tools installed?
preparing package asypow for lazy loading Error in tools:::.read_description(file) : file '/DESCRIPTION' does not exist Execution halted make: *** [lazyload] Error 1 *** Installation of asypow failed *** Again, with LazyLoad FALSE, it works. (This is rw2000dev dated 2004-09-13). Then installing todays build: (dated 2004-09-17) (again LazyLoad TRUE) -- passes Rcmd check But again the same problem with Rcmd build --binary preparing package asypow for lazy loading Error in tools:::.read_description(file) : file '/DESCRIPTION' does not exist Execution halted make: *** [lazyload] Error 1 *** Installation of asypow failed *** Removing 'C:/DOCUME~1/HALVOR~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/Rbuild.2760/asypow' ERROR * installation failed Again, R CMD INSTALL --build ..\library\asypow
Ahhhhh! Here you will need forward slashes: R CMD INSTALL --build ../library/asypow or R CMD BUILD --binary ../library/asypow Uwe
gives exactly the same error message. Changing to LazyLoad FALSE the problems disappear. There is probably something with the package hindering lazyloading, but it is still strange that it passes "Rcmd check" when a binary package cannot be built. Kjetil Halvorsen
