Hi,

I encountered a very strange error with R (2.14.1).

I tried to build an R package and eventually worked (passing all the checks etc.). Then, I tried 
this command "R CMD INSTALL --binary pkg", which supposedly "installs and produce a 
binary source archive (*.zip) for use on Windows only."

Nothing happened, but I could not run "R CMD check pkg" anymore. Further, when 
I tried to invoke R, I had \

Warning message:
In normalizePath(c(new, .Library.site, .Library), "/") :
   path[1]="": No such file or directory

I looked through all the document but could not find an answer.

Could you please provide some hint?


Please try to put together a reproducible example. It looks sort of like symptoms of having a bad package name in your DESCRIPTION file, which was fixed quite recently (after 2.15.1):

* A malformed package name could cause |R CMD INSTALL| to write outside the target library.

You can try a nightly build of R-patched if you can make the problem reproducible. If it's not fixed yet, please send me instructions on how to reproduce. (That probably means sending me a copy of your pkg source.)
