[R] Building a package under WIN2000 / rw2.0

[BXC (Bendix Carstensen)]

I have an odd problem in building a package with only R-code in it.
I have a package mainly used by myself which I last  build under R
1.9.0.
The operation system is Win2000 5.00.2195, Service Pack 3

When I do:

c:\stat\r\rw2000\bin\Rcmd install --docs=normal --build
--library=c:\stat\R\bxc\library c:\stat\R\bxc\library.sources\xx

then after updating help pages I get:

  preparing package xx for lazy loading
  Error in tools:::.read_description(file) :
          file '/DESCRIPTION' does not exist
  Execution halted
  make: *** [lazyload] Error 1
  *** Installation of xx failed ***

(Yes, I have a DESCRIPTION file).
Having made a few changes here and there in some of the functions I
transferred
them one at a time to a new folder and tried to build it there.

The probelm seems to be that once I exceed 5 functions in the package
the above
error appears, with 5 or fewer functions it works OK.

Any ideas?
