In the R/ subdirectory of testpkg/ I have a file called testpkg.R which contains the following two lines:
setClass("testpkg", representation(pts = "list"))
setAs("testpkg", "numeric", function(from, to) as.numeric(unlist(from)))Then, in the main testpkg/ directory I have an empty `install.R' file and a dummy DESCRIPTION file (as well as an empty man/ subdirectory).
When I run `R CMD INSTALL testpkg' I get the following output:
marla:> R CMD INSTALL testpkg * Installing *source* package 'testpkg' ... ** R ** save image [1] "testpkg" Loading required package: testpkg Loading required package: testpkg Loading required package: testpkg Loading required package: testpkg Loading required package: testpkg Loading required package: testpkg Loading required package: testpkg Loading required package: testpkg Loading required package: testpkg Loading required package: testpkg Loading required package: testpkg Error during wrapup: evaluation is nested too deeply: infinite recursion?

Execution halted ERROR: execution of package source for 'testpkg' failed ** Removing '/home/rpeng/install/R-beta/lib/R/library/testpkg'
Is this expected? Did I specify something incorrectly?
If I remove the setAs() call, everything installs fine. Furthermore, if I include a line like:
setAs("numeric", "testpkg", function(from, to) list())
that doesn't seem to cause a problem. I only get the infinite recursion problem when the first argument to setAs() is the new class "testpkg".
