Dear R-helpers, I made the package depmix for fitting hidden markov models. After updating R to version 2.2.0 on my PC I got the following error when installing the package from a local directory. One of the C files includes the R.h file which apparently causes problems. I call R CMD INSTALL --docs="normal" depmix and I get the following error: make[3]: *** No rule to make target 'C:/rw2011/include/R.h', needed by derdist.o. Stop. In the previous version of R that I used, the package compiles & installs without problems. My question is what to make of this error since the R CHANGES file states that "The 'rw2010' notation has been dropped." so the rw2011 directory does not even exist. Even so, R CMD INSTALL does not complain that it can not find the directory but only says there is "no rule to make target", which I fail to understand. Any hints are welcome, best, ingmar

You probably did build from a poluted directory containing an old ".../src/Makedeps" file. Remove it and try again. Uwe Ligges

Dear Uwe,
I made the package depmix for fitting hidden markov models. After updating R to version 2.2.0 on my PC I got the following error when installing the package from a local directory. One of the C files includes the R.h file which apparently causes problems. I call R CMD INSTALL --docs="normal" depmix and I get the following error: make[3]: *** No rule to make target 'C:/rw2011/include/R.h', needed by derdist.o. Stop.

That was spot on, thanks! Another thing that came up during compiling/installing the package is latex: not found warnings. They don't affect the correct installation it seems ... Even so, I never saw the warning before. Does R CMD INSTALL now call latex whereas it didn't do that earlier? best, ingmar
