[Rd] Tips for debugging: R CMD check examples

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, Hadley:


       1.  Is your memory clear when you run the examples successfully?  
I.e., start with "rm(list=objects())", then try the examples that work 
interactively but fail in "R CMD check".


       2.  Also, does "R CMD check" give any warnings, e.g., undefined 
global, in addition to the error message?  If yes, fixing those might 
also fix the error message.


       The suggestions of Deepayan and Sarker are excellent, but the two 
things I suggests are more targeted and might work, so I'd try them first.


       Hope this helps.
       Spencer
