Dear developeRs,
Compilation of the latest version (0.9-5) of my actuar package fails
with r-release MacOS_X ix86 on CRAN; see
http://www.R-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-release-macosx-ix86/actuar-00check.html
All errors come from accented letters in comments in latin-1 encoded
files (except hierarc.R which is in UTF-8, my bad). Encoding is
declared as latin-1 in DESCRIPTION.
The package checks and compiles fine on Windows, Linux and,
ironically, my MacOS X main development machine. I realize using non-
ASCII characters in source files is not a good idea and I removed
them, but I would appreciate any clue as to what went wrong with the
compilation on CRAN.
I assume that the MacOS X builds are done in a C locale?
That was my first thought, but it worked in a C locale for me, even on Mac
OS X. But then we know there are C locales and C locales ....
I think R-devel is somewhat less prone to such issues, and it was R-devel
I checked.
Yes - but isn't this very similar to the problem we have been talking
about a while back? The check analyses were reporting an error
although the code was fine (I think it boiled down to text connection
I/O in the check scripts failing mysteriously due to the fact that it
was using the wrong encoding) I'll have to check later today ...
Cheers,
