[R] Building a package and Depends search

[john seers (IFR)]

Hello R experts

I am just learning how to build a package so this is probably a basic
question. I have read the manual( well, to be more truthful, am reading)
the manual, and I have searched the archives to the best of my ability.
I am on Windows.

When running the command "R CMD check packagename" I get this type of
error:

* checking package dependencies ... ERROR
Packages required but not available:
  chron

I think this is because I install my packages in "mylibrary" and use
"R_LIBS=C:/PROGRA~1/R/mylibrary" in my Renviron.site file. If I move the
package to the R main library it fixes the problem. But rather defeats
the intention behind having a separate mylibrary.

Can anybody tell me how to solve this? That is keep my installed
packages in mylibrary but get the package check/build to work? I guess
Depends: has a search path but I cannot find it or how to alter it. Can
anybody point me to some documentation?

Thanks very much for any help.


Regards


John Seers
