I've written a fairly elaborate package (called "eoa") that relies on
functions from several other packages. I've built the package into a zip
file on Windows using Hadley's devtools::build(binary = T) and have sent
the zip to a couple dozen people for testing. My package installs fine, but
some people are having trouble loading it. After library(eoa), they get
something like:
Error: could not load package tcltk2
In DESCRIPTION file, I use
Depends: tcltk, tcltk2, tkrplot
Imports: actuar,
graphics,
gsl,
MASS,
Matrix,
tensorA
If, after getting the "could not load" message, the user installs the
required packages by hand, everything works fine.
My understanding was that both the "Depends: " and the "Imports: " lines in
DESCRIPTION file direct R to automatically install required packages that
haven't been previously installed.
It doesn't appear to be working that way for me. There must be a simple
solution that I am obviously missing....
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
