$ R CMD build rbart  --resave-data
$ R CMD check --as-cran rbart_1.0.tar.gz

gives:
Status: 1 NOTE

00check.log has:
* checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... NOTE
Maintainer: ‘Robert McCulloch <robert.e.mcculloch using gmail.com>’

$ sudo R CMD INSTALL rbart_1.0.tar.gz
  works fine

############################
But I get a debian error when I submit to CRAN:

Dear maintainer,

package rbart_1.0.tar.gz does not pass the incoming checks automatically,
please see the following pre-tests:

So, I don't know why there is some kind of C++ error in CRAN-debian when it
works fine on
my Ubuntu system.
And I don't know how to get more information on the problem.

rbart_1.0.tar.gz  is at
www.rob-mcculloch.org/rbart_1.0.tar.gz

This is my first time emailing this list, hope I did it in a reasonable way.
thanks,
Rob McCulloch
