[R] [Rd] I do not want that R CMD build removes temp directory

[Witold E Wolski]

Dear Uwe,

Unfortunately there isn't much of an output. This is all what I have:

$ R CMD INSTALL --log prolfqua
Warning: unknown option '--log'
* installing to library 'C:/Users/witoldwolski/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.2'
* installing *source* package 'prolfqua' ...
** using staged installation
** R
** data
** inst
** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'prolfqua'
* removing 'C:/Users/witoldwolski/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.2/prolfqua'

Also with --no-test-load option the install is failing :

$ R CMD INSTALL --clean --no-test-load prolfqua

* installing to library 'C:/Users/witoldwolski/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.2'
* installing *source* package 'prolfqua' ...
** using staged installation
** R
** data
** inst
** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'prolfqua'
* removing 'C:/Users/witoldwolski/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.2/prolfqua'

And including "--no-clean-on-error" also does not help because the
installation directory is empty.


Tested the install, on macos M1, linux ARM64, linux x86, Windows 64,
and it works everywhere except
Parallels Windows 64 on ARM M1.
