Thank you very much, Prof. Ripley. This is our own package and in R

that we have to setup the complete R development system for a simple R
package to work.
Yes, you do (well, you don't need the compilers but you need the tools and
perl).
We cannot convert help to a viewable format without perl (nor are we
likely to in the foreseeable future, help formats having been discussed
since 2001). We probably could convert R CMD INSTALL to need only Perl
for a package with no C or Fortran code, which might be helpful.
Maybe we should just source() the file in, less elegant though.

In every case I have ever seen mentioned, the solution was to install
the
package properly by R CMD INSTALL and not by a manual kludge.
The message is given if the installation lacks the metadata in the
Meta
subdirectory which INSTALL creates.
