[R-pkg-devel] ERROR from R CMD check that I have never seen before

[Richard M. Heiberger]

The problem is still there.  I am working on both Windows and Macintosh.

The packages I have check clean using R-3.1.2 on Windows.
They "INSTALL --build" and "build" using 3.3.0-devl on Windows and 3.2.0 on Mac,

I downloaded R-devel for Windows this afternoon and updated to Rtools33.
I have attached two R CMD check log files with this combination
* using R Under development (unstable) (2015-05-22 r68399)
* using platform: i386-w64-mingw32 (32-bit)


The 3.1-15 is the version currently on CRAN.
It complains it can't find Hmisc.  Hmisc is installed.
The built package inside the Rcheck directory loads.
Package check results on CRAN don't show this warning.


The 3.1-17 is the version I am working on.
It complains it can't find abind.  abind is installed.
It gives 6 versions of this message.
Error in validObject(.Object) :
  invalid class "ObjectsWithPackage" object: superclass "atomicVector"
not defined in the environment of the object's class
I don't understand what is triggering them.
The built package inside the Rcheck directory loads.
