[R] How to build a package which loads Rgraphviz (if installed)...

[Søren Højsgaard]

The tricky part is not getting it through the checks on my computer. It is when I upload to CRAN I get the problems, because "their" computers need Rgraphviz as well... ("Suggests" does not seem to be the solution...)
 
Cheers
Søren

I suspect that rcmd check actually checks that any package referred to in require() is declared in the DESCRIPTION file. From the version numbers from your 'psych' package I guess you are stuck with the same problem???

There are varying degrees of dependence.  Probably "Suggests" is what
you want.

Note that *you* need to have RGraphViz to make it through the checks,
but other users won't need it.
