[R] problem with building package on CRAN

[William Revelle]

Dear friends,
   I have just gotten a strange error message back from  Uwe saying 
that the most recent version of psych failed to pass R CMD check for 
Windows.

The error message was less than helpful, in that it seems to have 
failed when trying to include the Rcpp library, which I do not 
directly call.  (see below)


"* using log directory 'd:/Rcompile/CRANpkg/local/2.11/psych.Rcheck'
* using R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31)
* using session charset: ISO8859-1
* checking for file 'psych/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* this is package 'psych' version '1.0-90'
* checking package name space information ... OK
* checking package dependencies ... OK
* checking if this is a source package ... OK
* checking whether package 'psych' can be installed ... ERROR
Installation failed.
The installation logfile:
-Id:/Rcompile/CRANpkg/lib/2.11/Rcpp/include



I do have several suggested packages  (polycor, GPArotation, MASS, 
graph, Rgraphviz, mvtnorm, Rcsdp),  but none of these are actually 
required.  My examples all ask if the suggested packages are 
available and then do not call them if they are not.

Any suggestions on what to do would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Bill
