No such requirememt.
I am writing a small package and find that when I add the abind
package to the list of the Depends field, I get an error in
R CMD check of the build.
* checking package name space information ... OK
* checking package dependencies ... ERROR
Packages required but not available:
abind
I expect it is in a non-default library tree. From 'Writing R Extensions'
Note: R CMD check and R CMD build run R with --vanilla, so none of the
user's startup files are read. If you need R_LIBS set (to find
packages in a non-standard library) you will need to set it in the
environment.
See the information on DESCRIPTION files in the chapter 'Creating R
packages' of the 'Writing R Extensions' manual.
The abind package is installed, my package installs, builds and loads
correctly and, in general, works, even the function that uses abind.
I haven't been able to spot an error from reading the 'Writing R Extensions'
manual, yet. About the only thing that I have noticed that is different
in this package from the others in the Depends list is that it doesn't
have a NAMESPACE.
Here is my sessionInfo:
R version 2.7.2 Patched (2008-09-02 r46491)

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
