[R] 1.4.1 R CMD check broken?

[apjaworski@mmm.com]

Thanks for all who responded to this.

I guess I did nor realize that the check should only be run on the packages
installed from sources.

There was no particular reason for me to check ctest.  I used to install R
on my Win machine in the "Program Files" folder.  The space in path seems
to break some Perl scripts, so when I tried to run Rcmd check, it would
complain that it could not find "C:/Program" or something similar.  I
installed the newest version in C:/R and was simply trying to see if I
could run Rcmd check.

Thanks again,

Andy

I am not sure if this is already known.  I checked BUGS and found some
references to similar behavior when R_HOME is set?

Here is what I get:

(1) Fresh build of 1.4.1 under Linux/RH-7.2. All tests pass.

      > R CMD check ctest
     * checking for working latex ... OK
     * using log directory `/home/andyj/stat/R-1.4.1/library/ctest.Rcheck'

     Installing *source* package `ctest' ...
      R
      help
      >>> Building/Updating help pages for package `ctest'
      Formats: text html latex example

      At this point R hangs.

(2) Just installed 1.4.1 on Win200 using Prof. Ripley single file installer


     c:/R/rw1041/library > Rcmd.exe check ctest
     * checking for working latex ... OK
     * using log directory `/cygdrive/c/R/rw1041/library/ctest.Rcheck'

     make: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/R/rw1041/src/gnuwin32'
     make DLLNM= \
     -C /cygdrive/c/R/rw1041/library/ctest PKG=ctest
RHOME=/cygdrive/c/R/rw1041 RLI
     B=/cygdrive/c/R/rw1041/library/ctest.Rcheck \
     -f /cygdrive/c/R/rw1041/src/gnuwin32/MakePkg
     make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/R/rw1041/library/ctest'
     ---------- Making package ctest ------------
     mkdir -p /cygdrive/c/R/rw1041/library/ctest.Rcheck/ctest
     cp -r   ./INDEX  ./TITLE ./CONTENTS ./R-ex ./chtml ./help ./html
./latex ./libs
     /cygdrive/c/R/rw1041/library/ctest.Rcheck/ctest/
     adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION
     no R files in this package
     installing man source files

     At this point Rcmd hangs also.

In both cases the problems seems to be that the $R_HOME/library/ctest/R
never gets copied to the ctest.Rcheck/ctest.  In the Windows case there is
no man directory in ctest, but an empty one is created in ctest.Rcheck.
