To whom it may concerned, I'm trying to build a new R package in a windows platform. Before that, I tried to check the previous well-know package from the CRAN using the Rcmd command. But I got the error messages as below. I think this comes from the parsing error from the Perl script in $RHOME/bin/check. In the following example, 'Program Files' is splited into 'Program', and this has made the R checking prosess halt. What could I've done wrong?
This is a known & documented problem, which we're unlikely to fix unless someone who experiences it submits a patch. The readme.packages file says this: "BEWARE: Don't expect this to work if the path to R_HOME contains spaces. It may work, but we don't recommend it." You seem to have one of the systems where it doesn't work. You should re-install R somewhere other than the "Program files" directory if you want this to work relatively painlessly. Duncan Murdoch
Let me add two points: - You don't have LaTeX installed (properly), which is required to run "Rcmd check" completely. - This is not a bug, so no reason to send a bug report. Uwe Ligges
