R.oo installation warnings?
Hi, don't worry about those setGenericS3()/setMethodS3(0 warnings - they are just informative. I am aware of that last warning: Warning: package 'R.oo' claims to be built under R version 2.10.0 but is missing some help files and needs to be re-installed but it does not go away when you reinstall. It is also reported in all of the CRAN checks, which obviously are built on the correct version, cf. http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_R.oo.html I haven't had time to track down what triggers this warning. I wouldn't worry about this warning either - R.oo is used in many downstream packages with tons of CPU hours/testing, and I haven't got any reports that this would cause a problem. /Henrik

I got the following warnings when I install R.oo. Are these warnings normal? Should I reinstall the package as mentioned in the warnings? How to reinstall? The sessionInfo() is at the end.
