I got an error message apparently from copying a line in the
"Writing R Extensions" manual. Specifically, the sample "DESCRIPTION"
file includes the following:
Depends: R (>= 1.8.0), nlme
When I ran "R CMD check", I got the following message in
"00install.out":
installing R.css in
D:/spencerg/statmtds/RTimeSeries/Durbin/StateSpaceDK.Rcheck
unsupported operator in dependence "R (>=2.4.0), zoo"
---------- Making package StateSpaceDK ------------

Error: Invalid DESCRIPTION file
Malformed Depends or Suggests or Imports or Enhances field.
Offending entries:

Entries must be names of packages optionally followed by '<=' or '>=',
white space, and a valid version number in parentheses.
See the information on DESCRIPTION files in section 'Creating R
packages' of the 'Writing R Extensions' manual.

After I removed "R (>=2.4.0)", "R CMD check" moved on to something
else I haven't yet parsed. However, either I've misinterpreted
something here or the manual is inconsistent with what "R CMD check"
currently does.
Thanks for all your hard work in creating this very useful tool.
