You asked R CMD check to call R CMD INSTALL which did. > Can't find anyone else really griping about this on the R search > stuff.

I always do R CMD build mypkg R CMD check mypkg_version.tar.gz That way I check a clean tarball, the one I might distribute. What you are seeing is the aftermath of R CMD INSTALL. That has arguments --clean and --pre-clean to deal with this, but 'clean' does not use them. (My guess is that the faster install by not doing so is thought beneficial.) > > Barry > > ______________________________________________ > R-devel@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel > -- Brian D.
