suggested package not found

I normally work in Windows, but make my packages under Unix.  My package 
'b' suggests my package 'a'.  R CMD check fails for 'b', even though 'a' 
is installed: "Packages required but not available: b".  What do I have 
to do to make 'a' available, besides R CMD INSTALL 'a'?  

spotting the answer in "Writing Extensions...".  Please point me in the 
right direction.

Is that a typo on line 3?  It seems to be having trouble finding "b", 
not finding "a".

Duncan,

Yes, that was a typo on line three.  Sorry.

$version.string
[1] "Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01)".

Thanks,

Where is 'a' installed?

You may need to set R_LIBS: R CMD check is not looking in any of your 
startup files such as ~/.Renviron.

I don't believe this is a Windows/Unix issue, but rather one of the 
local R environment.
