Hello, I'm building a package on Mac OS. The build/check/install goes all ok. Also, the package gets loaded properly with library(my_package). However, when I call the help file for a given function in the package -- i.e., "?my_function", I get the following error: Error in gzfile(file, "rb") : cannot open the connection I've search for this issue, but did not find anything that could help in my case. Thanks, Axel.

You'll need to make your package available if you want someone else to help. If you want to do it yourself, use options(error=recover) to find out what file R was trying to open, likely something like /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/*/Meta/package.rds and then work out why R was unable to open it.
