Dear r-devel members,
I tried to build R packages on a PC running Windows XP but experience
problems. However, it is ok when there is no inst directory in a package.
Any help would be appreciated.
The following is an example,
C:\work>R CMD check VR_7.2-19.tar.gz
* checking for working latex ... OK
* using log directory 'C:/work/VR.Rcheck'
* using R version 2.1.1, 2005-06-20
* checking for file 'VR/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* looks like 'VR' is a package bundle
* this is bundle 'VR' version '7.2-19'
* checking if this is a source bundle ... OK
installing R.css in C:/work/VR.Rcheck
Looks like `C:/work/VR.Rcheck/00_pkg_src/VR' is a package bundle

FIND: Parameter format not correct
Looks like a path problem. There's a find command in the R tools, and a
completely different one in Windows. You need to set your path to find the
R one first.
