[R-pkg-devel] ERROR from R CMD check that I have never seen before

The problem is still there.  I am working on both Windows and Macintosh.

The packages I have check clean using R-3.1.2 on Windows.
They "INSTALL --build" and "build" using 3.3.0-devl on Windows and 3.2.0 on Mac,

I downloaded R-devel for Windows this afternoon and updated to Rtools33.
I have attached two R CMD check log files with this combination
* using R Under development (unstable) (2015-05-22 r68399)
* using platform: i386-w64-mingw32 (32-bit)


The 3.1-15 is the version currently on CRAN.
It complains it can't find Hmisc.  Hmisc is installed.
The built package inside the Rcheck directory loads.
Package check results on CRAN don't show this warning.


The 3.1-17 is the version I am working on.
It complains it can't find abind.  abind is installed.
It gives 6 versions of this message.
Error in validObject(.Object) :
   invalid class "ObjectsWithPackage" object: superclass "atomicVector"
not defined in the environment of the object's class
I don't understand what is triggering them.
The built package inside the Rcheck directory loads.

Can you try a more recent version of R-devel with all relevant packages you
depend on re-installed?

Looks like either a bug in that months old version of R-devel or an
inconsistancy of installed packages and the version of the methods package
or so.

Best,
Uwe Ligges

followup.

I backed up to R-3.1.2 and fixed the problems it found.
Then I tried again with R-3.2.0 and I am still getting these messages

I have two questions about it.
1. What is it checking?  There are no words in the message that
indicate which of my
functions is being looked at.

I am getting 6 of these.  They are all identically worded.  sometimes
they are
NOTE ERROR WARNING

Thanks
Rich

2. How can I run R CMD check, or its components, in a way that will stop
and
let me investigate from the point?  I am looking for the equivalent of
the R option
option(error=recover)
