You should not set it in the package at all. It is a run-time variable specific to OS X checking so it is expected to be set in the OS and the CRAN checks on OS X set it automatically. If you are testing your package locally, you can simply use NOAWT=1 R CMD check DeducerText_0.1-0.tar.gz Cheers, Simon > Here is the source tar-ball of my package if you want to try for yourself. > http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~alexalex/R/src/contrib/DeducerText_0.1-0.tar.gz > > Thanks. > > -- > Alex Rickett > ack.van...@gmail.com > ______________________________________________ > r-de...@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel > > ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
