Dear list member,
by running Rcmd check on a package where a customised 'CITATION' file should
be included instead of the automatically produced one, the following error
occurs:
adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION
installing NAMESPACE file and metadata
installing R files
installing inst files
FIND: Parameter format not correct
make[2]: *** [c:/R/packages/urca/inst] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [pkg-urca] Error 2
*** Installation of urca failed ***
When I exclude /inst/CITATION from the package sources, no problems/errors
are encountered.
Incidentally, the same error occurs on 'Rcmd check VR':
H:\R\Packages>Rcmd check VR
* checking for working latex ... OK
* using log directory 'H:/R/Packages/VR.Rcheck'
* checking for file 'VR/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* checking if this is a source package ... OK
installing R.css in H:/R/Packages/VR.Rcheck
Looks like `H:/R/Packages/VR' is a package bundle

Am I doing something wrong? Is the error caused by my OS? Any help or

inst/CITATION produced error during Rcmd check <package>
3 messages · Pfaff, Bernhard, Brian Ripley, Gabor Grothendieck
That you are getting FIND not `find' suggests that you have not followed the instructions in README.packages correctly. Please ensure you have followed BEWARE: `Native' ports of make are _not_ suitable (including that at the mingw site). There were also problems with several earlier versions of the cygwin tools and dll. To avoid frustration, please use our tool set, and make sure it is at the front of your path (including before the Windows system directories). and especially the last point.
