Hi there fellow R-Users,

I am trying to use the "package.skeleton" to create my own package with
R.1.7.1 on Windows XP Professional.
I have followed the package.skeleton example and have downloaded the
necessary files found at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/tools.zip.

and perl5, available via http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/.

When I run the command "Rcmd BUILD AnExample" I get the following output
and error message:



C:\Program Files\R\rw1071\bin>Rcmd BUILD AnExample * checking for file 'AnExample/DESCRIPTION' ... OK * preparing 'AnExample': * cleaning src * checking whether 'INDEX' is up-to-date ... OK * checking whether 'data/00Index' is up-to-date ... OK * removing junk files * building 'AnExample_1.0.tar.gz' tar: Files/R/rw1071/bin/AnExample_1.0.tar: Cannot stat: No such file or director y tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors AnExample_1.0.tar: No such file or directory


Do not use blanks in your paths ("Program Files").
