Hi Duncan:
The problem is that in Windows I can't do the source() with
encoding="utf-8", so I don't reach the step of adjusting DESCRIPTION file.
The DESCRIPTION file is a plain text file, not R code. You don't need
to source() it, you just edit it in a plain text editor (e.g. Windows
notepad). Many editors can read and write a variety of encodings.
Notepad can handle ANSI (their name for the local encoding, usually
something like latin1 in western languages) and UTF-8. I'd recommend
using ANSI, because notepad will probably write a "byte-order mark" that
will confuse some other systems.
So if you can view all the files in notepad and they look okay, then
save them using ANSI, and add the line
Encoding: latin1
to the DESCRIPTION file, and MacOS should be able to handle the package.
If you have a better editor I'd choose UTF-8 with no byte-order mark.

As I said: always use the same encoding for them, and declare it in the
DESCRIPTION file. See the paragraph on this in the DESCRIPTION file
section 1.1.1 of the Writing R Extensions manual. There's more advice
in section 1.7.1 "Encoding issues" of that manual.
