Checking a (new) package - examples require other package functions
After adding the right functions to the NAMESPACE file, I am now getting a different error:
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'REEMtree'
Call sequence:
2: stop(gettextf("package/namespace load failed for '%s'", libraryPkgName(package)),
call. = FALSE, domain = NA)
1: library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc, character.only = TRUE, verbose = FALSE)
Execution halted
I have attached the NAMESPACE file in case that is where the problem is.
Thanks again for your help!

Error: couldn't find function "RandomEffectsTree" Execution halted The function "RandomEffectsTree" is defined in the R code for the package. How can I refer to other functions from the package in examples? (I have the "Writing R-extensions" PDF, so it would be enough to point me to the right page, if the answer is in there and I just missed it.)
You should not need to do anything special to make package functions visible, as long as they would be visible to a normal user. (Functions not exported in the NAMESPACE file won't be visible in the examples.) Are you sure you have a function with that exact name? It could be a typo somewhere, e.g. RandomEffectTree or RandomeffectsTree. Duncan Murdoch
