Dear Prof. Ripley, Thanks for your suggestion. Yes, R CMD INSTALL also failed and the problem was indeed in the data directory. There were some files (.R) in the data directory, which were creating the error. After removing them, R CMD check works fine.

I would expect R CMD INSTALL to fail in the same place. It appears to indicate a bug in one of your datasets.

While doing "R CMD check with R-2.1.1, I am getting the following error:

We believe that this could be due to package versioning, but are not sure.
Not sure what you mean here. No versioning is being used by R CMD check.
