Thanks for the suggestion. this package was building successfully until I split it up into smaller files.
(there are 4489 files in the src directory) I suspect it's a hard limit in the linux kernel. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6060 since R CMD check is generating the actual commands that are passed to bash, it's a little out of my control (unless I write my own config script, which I do not want to do). -Whit On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 5:07 PM, Mathieu Ribatet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just a suggestion.
