Well, you are *interpreting* the error message. What is true is that fastICA is not *visible* in the ' R CMD check <yourPkg> ' environment. > PS: the log can be found here: > https://win-builder.r-project.org/265alZrIl0s6/00check.log fastICA is not at all mentioned in your DESCRIPTION file. That is *always* wrong for any package you even only sometimes use in your package. ... and that entirely explains why it is not found during checking. Checking (almost) exactly only sees the packages that you declare to "require". Possibly adding the one line Suggests: fastICA to the DESCRIPTION file may be sufficient. Please read more about this in *the* manual (for this topic): "Writing R Extensions", part of every R installation and browseable e.g., here https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html https://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html mentions different formats, including Epub.
