[R] Building package problem

[Joshua Wiley]

Hi Ed,

If the only error is in examples then this should work:

R CMD check --no-examples foopkg

should not have anything to do with vignettes (although those may also
not run, who knows).  As far as building a binary, look at:

R CMD INSTALL --help

which leads you to

R CMD INSTALL --build foopkg

HTH,

Josh
