Thanks for that. Ive moved everything into a new directory and the command:
C:WayneTemp\rw1071\bin>Rcmd BUILD AnExample now works producing the file AnExample_1.0.tar.gz However, the command C:WayneTemp\rw1071\bin>Rcmd check AnExample still produces the following error message: C:\Program Files\R\rw1071\bin>Rcmd check AnExample * checking for working latex ...latex: not found NO * using log directory 'C:/Program Files/R/rw1071/bin/AnExample.Rcheck' * checking for file 'AnExample/DESCRIPTION' ... OK * checking if this is a source package ... ERROR Only *source* packages can be checked. Any help would be much appreciated.
