Glad you have something, you still made your life harder than you should
have. The _canonical_ and _documented_ way (and yes, there is basically an
entire manual dedicated to this which came with your version of R) is to
R CMD build foo/
R CMD check foo_1.2.3.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL foo_1.2.3.tar.gz
Working from sources works, cleaning up every once in a while and working
from pristine source is recommended for a reason.
Don't mean to call you out here, mostly leaving it for the next person
refusing to read the manual and ending up here by other means.
