[Rd] R CMD check

[jing hua zhao]

Dear r-devel members,

I tried to build R packages on a PC running Windows XP but experience 
problems. However, it is ok when there is no inst directory in a package.

Any help would be appreciated.

The following is an example,

C:\work>R CMD check VR_7.2-19.tar.gz
* checking for working latex ... OK
* using log directory 'C:/work/VR.Rcheck'
* using R version 2.1.1, 2005-06-20
* checking for file 'VR/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* looks like 'VR' is a package bundle
* this is bundle 'VR' version '7.2-19'
* checking if this is a source bundle ... OK

installing R.css in C:/work/VR.Rcheck

Looks like `C:/work/VR.Rcheck/00_pkg_src/VR' is a package bundle
