How to refer to my package from another package DESCRIPTION

3 messages · Ramiro Barrantes, Duncan Murdoch

Hello, I am developing some packages. Package1 requires Package2, both of which I developed:

Right now Package2 is installed properly here:

/myHome/libraries/Package2

Package1 needs Package2.  Package1 refers to Package2 both in the Roxygen @import field for one of the  functions, and also in the Imports section in the DESCRIPTION

However, when I do ?R CMD check Package1? I get:

* checking loading without being on the library search path ... WARNING
Error: package or namespace load failed for ?Package1? in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]):
 there is no package called ?Package2?

It can?t find it.  However, it does not seem like the correct thing is to have R_LIBS_USER=/myHome/libraries

How should I go about this?

Thanks in advance!

Because it does not work.  It says:

"""

Execution halted                                                                                                    
                                                                                                                    
It looks like this package has a loading problem when not on .libPaths:                                             
see the messages for details.                                         
"""

Any ideas?
