Gabor,
I guess is that you did not try to run R CMD INSTALL before R CMD check. R CMD check will try to install the package first (in pkg.Rcheck), and only if that's successful would checks be done.
The installation process will concatenate all R files in R/ to a single file and essentially source() that in upon package loading. That's where you would see the syntax error. I believe the recommended way is to install the package and play with that a bit first, before doing R CMD check. You'd find some problems are much easier to find that way (e.g., errors in NAMESPACE).
Thanks. Unfortunately if I run R CMD INSTALL I get this:
[...] preparing package zoo for lazy loading Error in tools:::.read_description(file) : file '/DESCRIPTION' does not exist Execution halted make: *** [lazyload] Error 1 *** Installation of zoo failed ***
Removing 'C:/PROGRA~1/R/RW2001~1/library/zoo'
I get a similar message if I run R CMD build --binary .
The DESCRIPTION file definitely exists so I assume it to
be something else.
In a few minutes, I'll comment to the "/DESCRIPTION" error in the other R-devel thread "[Rd] creating a package without lazy loading" you have opened.
The next error below is unrelated, AFAICS. You been bitten by a bug in some function, but we cannot say without a reproducible example, e.g. a minimal (!!!) version of the non-working package sources.

If I run run R CMD check then it crashes (that is,
I get a popup asking me if I want to send a bug report to Microsoft) at various points depending on which example
code in the .Rd files I comment out). If I comment out
enough to let it run past them all then I get the following
(where I have added the dots at the beginning of each
line in this post to circumvent's gmane's top posting filter):

I assume its the cleanEx line that is the problem but that is not one my lines. I would have tried it with an earlier version of R but I don't want to overwrite the version of the package I have installed on R 2.0.0 since then I will be unable to proceed at all.
I am using Windows XP and R 2.0.1beta . ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
