Hi Ellison

Thanks for the reply. The test package build I did using the skeleton package was in the same folder as the one I'm using now for the custom 'slo' package, so that is not the problem.

I just investigated whether it was an issue with program rights regarding downloading and installing new packages from RCMD, but even after double checking that all packages were installed (and finding some that wasn't,. which are now manually installed), it still doesn't work.

Regarding the new plot implementation, I don't have a clue whether that is needed, but I fully trust the capabilities of the guy to made the source files - and as written previously - he is able to build the package on his machine.

Venlig hilsen / Best regards

Not sure whether it will solve your problem, but specifying a writeable location for R CMD INSTALL --build (as described in 1.3.3 "Building binary packages" in "Writing R extensions") should dodge a permission problem if that is the issue. Personally I prefer to do that anyway to avoid overwriting an existing (working) package installation.

As an aside - probably unrelated and apparently not a warning anyway - I don't see why you would need to be be creating a new plot generic. Isn't the existing plot generic sufficient?
