Is it possible to override S4 methods in an installed package?
The naive
library("pkg")
setMethod("foo", signature(obj = "bar"),
function(obj , x, y) { new definition }
, where="package:pkg")
results in the error
Error in setMethod("foo", signature(obj = "bar"), function(obj, :
This failure is reproducible:
1) This requires a machine without "makeinfo". I ran into it on a
RedHat 9.0 system, but I doubt the OS matters.
2) unpack the R-2.2.0 source tarball
3) cd R-2.2.0
4) ./configure ; make ; make check ; make install
[add configure args as appropriate; works fi
