I tried to bypass R CMD check myPackage2 and did the following R CMD build myPackage2 R CMD INSTALL -l ~/Rlibs myPackage2
and this works, I can load myPackage2 into my R session. Wondering why R CMD check failed and is it not necessary for R CMD check to work before I can build the package? -----Original Message----- From: David Scott [mailto:d.sc...@auckland.ac.nz] Sent: Tuesday, February 02, 2010 07:27 PM To: Reena Bansal Subject: Re: [R] Error with R CMD check - Packages required but not available: Reena Bansal wrote: > Hi All, > > Apologies in advance if this is not the right email to post this > question. > > I successfully created my first R package myPackage1. > Now I want to create another R package myPackage2 which requires > functions from myPackage1. > > However when I try R CMD check myPackage2 I get the following error > > * checking for working pdflatex ...

Any suggestions? > Have you *installed* myPackage1 before trying to check myPackage2? This sort of structure certainly works for me (VarianceGamma and SkewHyperbolic depend on HyperbolicDist).
