[Bioc-devel] new package build problems

[Karl Stamm]

I'm trying to put together a new package submission, "rgsepd", and I've ran
into an error I can't figure out. Hoping to talk with someone with more
experience on the bioconductor build system.

The build report is here
http://bioconductor.org/spb_reports/rgsepd_0.99.2_buildreport_20140929213816.html#moscato1_buildsrc_anchor

The package has built fine on OSX and Linux, but is now crashing trying to
construct the Vignette on Windows. I don't see any error message reported,
just that the vignette failed. So I don't know how to debug it anymore.
Earlier versions had reported various file-not-found errors, so I could
track them down and fix them, it was file case-sensitivity or forward-slash
vs backslash on various imported files.  On the latest revision 0.99.2, the
moscato1 BUILD failed, but it was working in 0.99.1. I'm kind of at a loss,
does moscato1 not like knitr ?
The content of the error log only says it didn't make the file, as far as I
can tell:

Is there any way to get more information for debugging?

Thanks for your help.
