[Rd] RCMD check fails on "checkin installed package size"

[Stefan McKinnon Høj-Edwards]

Thanks. It worked.
I added the line "_R_CHECK_PKG_SIZES_=no" to /etc/Rcmd_environ (I am the only user of this computer).

Regarding the 'du' executable, it is found in the first directory in the PATH environment variable and came with Rtools for R 2.13.

Set _R_CHECK_PKG_SIZES_ to 'no' (see 'Writing R Extensions' and its 
references on customizing R CMD check), or correct your paths so the 
'du' program in Rtools is the one that is found.  (The only reported 
example was from using a different 'du' program.)

I believe that current R-patched works around this: R-devel definitely 
does.
