Hello Elijah, Hello Dirk

First of all many thanks for your help and support.

1) Sorry, I  used non-standard kyewords and thus I added to my 
doc/KEYWORDS.db database
the following lines:

Rmetrics: Rmetrics
Rmetrics|winRmetrics: winRmetrics
Rmetrics|fBasics: Basics
Rmetrics|fSeries: Series
Rmetrics|fExtremes: Extremes
Rmetrics|fOptions: Options

Then you don't get the warnings. Maybe it is not a good idea to have 
non-standard keywords.
[This should only produce a WARNING ...]


2) fExtremes depends also on evir, sorry that I forgot this. Now I have 
corrected the
DESCRIPTION file as:

Depends: R (>= 1.9.0), evd, evir, ismev


3) I have not yet found the error:
<>        Running examples in fBasics-Ex.R failed.
        The error most likely occurred in:
        ### * B1-ghypDistribution
This runs fine under MS Windows ...
[Hint: The hyperbolic Distribution uses calls to a Fortran program ? -
does this work properly for Fortran under Linux?]


4+5) Currently I have no idea what the following means:
            Error in .tryQuietly(....
I still try to find it out

Thanks again Diethelm
