Hi.... I am assembling an R package (under Windows XP, R v.2.3) and have a very basic question. Running R CMD build does not generate a pdf. R CMD check generates a .dvi, but I cannot figure out how to automatically create the pdf. I thought from reading the "writing r extensions' manual that R CMD build was supposed to generate the pdf. I am having no success using various permutations of the Rd2dvi and texi2dvi, and I'm a bit frustrated. I have miktex 2.4, which should (I thought) have the necessary pdftex tools to do this. Maybe it does; I definitely have various directories named 'dvipdfm', 'pdftex', etc on my computer, but I have no idea whether there might be a problem.
When I install the package, I receive the message that most of my functions are "masked _by_ .GlobalEnv". I have no idea what this means; I'm sure that this is amply documented, but I confess that I have a rather difficult time with much of the documentation on writing packages. Apologies for the elementary level of these questions, and thanks in advance for your help! ~Dan Rabosky Dan Rabosky Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology 237 Corson Hall Cornell University Ithaca, NY14853-2701 USA 607 254 4262 (office) 607 592 4636 (cell) [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://www.birds.cornell.edu/evb/Graduates_Dan.htm ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
