Hi:
I have have taken over from a colleague who
prepared an R package and failed to build it on
Windows. I am doing this with unix as I am a mac
user. Below is the output I get when I use the
build command:
This looks like what happens under Mac OS X, where tar doesn't recognise
the -X flag for eXcluding files [it's used for something else].
You can confirm by checking man tar. I don't know if this will get fixed
for 1.8.0, but a work-around is to get GNU tar.

I have read the R-exts.pdf document but did not
find what I do wrong. In fact, there is little
information on the use of R CMD build, both in
the R-exts.pdf document and the man (R CMD build
--help) pages.
Do I need to make the CO2_1.0.tar file myself?
Your help would be much appreciated!
