Hi, I encountered a very strange error with R (2.14.1). I tried to build an R package and eventually worked (passing all the checks etc.). Then, I tried this command "R CMD INSTALL --binary pkg", which supposedly "installs and produce a binary source archive (*.zip) for use on Windows only." Nothing happened, but I could not run "R CMD check pkg" anymore. Further, when I tried to invoke R, I had \ Warning message: In normalizePath(c(new, .Library.site, .Library), "/") : path[1]="": No such file or directory I looked through all the document but could not find an answer. Could you please provide some hint?
Please try to put together a reproducible example. It looks sort of like symptoms of having a bad package name in your DESCRIPTION file, which was fixed quite recently (after 2.15.1): * A malformed package name could cause |R CMD INSTALL| to write outside the target library. You can try a nightly build of R-patched if you can make the problem reproducible. If it's not fixed yet, please send me instructions on how to reproduce. (That probably means sending me a copy of your pkg source.) Duncan Murdoch
