Turns out calling the file DetectiV.rda (rather than .Rdata) fixed it. Odd.

After using package.skeleton(), I replaced the six .rda files with a single .Rdata file that contained all six data frames. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of michael watson (IAH-C) Sent: Wed 09/05/2007 10:58 AM To: r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: [R] Including data when building an R package in windows I've done this before, but when I tried the same thing this time, it didn't work. I'm using R 2.4.1 on windows. I have 6 data frames that I want to include in a package I am building. Instead of making users issue six different "data(...)" commands, I want to wrap them all up in one file so that users issue one "data(...)" command and have access to all six data sets. I had the functions and data loaded in R, nothing else, used package.skeleton() to create the structure. Edited everything I needed to (help etc) Ran "R CMD INSTALL --build DetectiV" in MS-DOS, the package built. Installed the zip file. Everything fine. In R: >library(DetectiV) >data(DetectiV) Warning message: data set 'DetectiV' not found in: data(DetectiV) C:\Program Files\R\R-2.4.1\library\DetectiV\data contains filelist and Rdata.zip. filelist is: DetectiV.Rdata filelist Rdata.zip contains a file called DetectiV.Rdata. This the exact same structure I have in place for another of my packages - and that one works when I issue data(...) commands, whereas this one doesn't. So, any ideas what I am doing wrong?
