Sending it to me was fine.  I hope you don't mind me taking the 
conversation back to the list.

I don't get an error with 1.99 either, other than this one which isn't 
your fault:

This came because R CMD build put the o-umlaut in your name into the 
Packaged field, i.e. DESCRIPTION has this:

Packaged: Thu Nov 22 16:06:24 2007; Grömping

I would call this a bug in our build script, but not one that is serious 
enough to fix before 2.6.1 gets released.

In the check log I see at least one use of svydesign with a warning but 
no error:

Warning in svydesign(id = ~subj, data = dat) :
   No weights or probabilities supplied, assuming equal probability

So I'd come back to guessing that you have survey installed in a 
non-standard place, and R CMD check isn't finding it.
