Hola!
I got past the problems I asked about two days ago, thanks. No I am 
updating
CRAN package asypow (the daily package check on CRAN gave warnings 
due to
.Rd problems, fixed).

Now it PASSED Rcmd check
(WindowsXP home edition, rw2000dev, on a new toshiba laptop, if that 
matters.)

but then Rcmd build --binary

Kjetil,
works for me with the asypow 1.0, R-2.0.0 alpha (2004-09-16).
Which version of R (I mean the date, a lot of stuff changed during the 
last 2 weeks re. lazy loading and related bug fixes on Windows)?

If it still does not work with a recent alpha version, please send me 
the source package.

OK, just downloaded latest rw2000dev, but before installing, trying what 
you says below:

What happens if you try
   R CMD INSTALL --build

With LazyLoad   TRUE this gives the same error:
 preparing package asypow for lazy loading
Error in tools:::.read_description(file) :
   file '/DESCRIPTION' does not exist
Execution halted
make: *** [lazyload] Error 1
*** Installation of asypow failed ***
Again, with LazyLoad  FALSE, it works. (This is rw2000dev dated  
2004-09-13).

Then installing todays build:   (dated  2004-09-17)
(again LazyLoad TRUE)
-- passes Rcmd check
But again the same problem with Rcmd build --binary
preparing package asypow for lazy loading
Error in tools:::.read_description(file) :
   file '/DESCRIPTION' does not exist
Execution halted
make: *** [lazyload] Error 1
*** Installation of asypow failed ***
Removing 'C:/DOCUME~1/HALVOR~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/Rbuild.2760/asypow'
ERROR
* installation failed
Again, R CMD INSTALL --build  ..\library\asypow
gives exactly the same error message.
Changing to LazyLoad FALSE  
the problems disappear.

There is probably something with the package hindering lazyloading, but 
it is still strange
that it passes "Rcmd check" when a binary package cannot be built.
