[R] problem building MS-Windows package under linux

[Paulo Justiniano Ribeiro Jr]

I had this same problem before:

you need to install the program "tidy"  in your linux machine

There is a p[ackage for DEBIAN such that you can use
apt-get install tidy

don't know about other distros but it is probably available as well

P.J.

paulojus at notebook:~$ apt-cache search tidy
perltidy - A Perl script indenter and reformatter
tidy - HTML syntax checker and reformatter
tidy-doc - HTML syntax checker and reformatter documentation
tidy-proxy - A small http proxy which tidies html
