Which package are you receiving this error? Winbuilder should have all current CRAN and Bioconductor packages available for your package dependencies. Charles On Fri, May 22, 2015 at 7:46 AM, Stachelek, Joseph <jstachel at sfwmd.gov> wrote:

The Winbuilder service is basically provided by Uwe Ligges volunteering
(and infrastructure of the department of statistics of
Universit?t Dortmund, AFAIK, with a some hardware costs covered
by the R Foundation).
I'm pretty sure Uwe's intent is to have every CRAN package
installed .. which is installable on Windows.
Some packages do explicitly require a non-Windows OS
(similarly as a few other packages explicitly only work on Windows)
and hence would be excluded.
For other packages, considerable manual work might be
required such that the package is easily installed/installable
on Winbuilder. For instance, for my 'Rmpfr' package, a few
years ago, Uwe had to make sure that the underlying MPFR C
library was available on the winbuilder as well.
So lets thank Uwe for all he has volunteered doing about this,
and in your place, I'd ask him politely also for your specific
situation.

I am receiving this error about RcppOctave. I see that it does not have a binary on CRAN because of compiled code issues. My package does not have compiled code itself and it passes CRAN check. I set example code chunks to not run but this did not solve the issue.

Can you please include the exact error message that you are seeing? That will help diagnose the problem. Hadley

I set example code chunks to not run but this did not solve the issue. That is a pretty involved package which I know a little. I would recommend that make that a Suggests: RcppOctave and test for presence of RcppOctave in examples or tests. To my reading of Writing R Extensions, that is exactly what is recommended in this situation where you "can but not must" use another package. Dirk

Currently all hardware costs covered by Dortmund university, actually.

Please see http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_RcppOctave.html Windows error logs are are those from winbuilder. If a package cannot be installed, it won't be there of course. Hence please follow the advise to make it a suggested package "only". Best, Uwe Ligges
