[R] Interpreting messages when building packages

[Duncan Murdoch]

You didn't say how you were doing the install, but the directory name 
looks like one that was used by R CMD check (.../dynalc.Rcheck/dynalc). 
  Are you trying to install from a directory created by it?  You should 
normally install from your original source directory.
