[R] Problems Creating an R package

[Thomas Petzoldt]

Hi Aarti

src/  if you have source files in C or Fortran.
R/    for the R sources.

If you have no C or Fortran files, you should delete the src/ directory.

The syntax error in your R function is simply that the "," is on a new
line so R "thinks" that the line above is complete.

Hope it helps
