Dear Prof. Ripley and Prof. Winsemius, I have deleted the .Rapp.history (hope, it was all of them), but still got the same message when run the R CMD check PkgName. I'll shutdown the laptop, start a fresh session and will rename the R functions for the package and the package itself differently. Then I will see what happened and report it here.
Many thanks for the respond and thoughts. With kind regards, Ema ________________________________ From: Prof Brian Ripley <[email protected]> To: David Winsemius <[email protected]> [email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 6, 2013 8:06 AM Subject: Re: [R-SIG-Mac] hidden files and directories On 06/08/2013 01:16, David Winsemius wrote: > > On Aug 5, 2013, at 5:00 PM, Rohmatul Fajriyah wrote: > >> Dear All, >> >> I tried to build an R package (from the terminal) and everything was ok >> until R CMD check PackageName and I got this message: >> ...... >> * checking for hidden files and directories ...

But files like man/.Rapp.history will need to be removed manually. -- Brian D.
