[Rd] a package depending on other packages does not pass checking on windows

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

I have been bitten by this myself. For that reason I have stopped  
using .Renviron.

I believe the behavior is the same under Linux and Windows, so I  
think you might have a different setup on the two machines.

You can fix it by explicitly setting
   R_LIBS
as an environment variable or by putting the following in your .Rprofile
   .libPaths(SOMEDIR)
But of these are accessed by R CMD ...
