Dear Prof. Ripley: Thanks for the suggestion. I've used some of those diagnostics, and I think I knew that I could run "R CMD install --build" without having passed "R CMD check", but I hadn't done it before and didn't think of it. I will remember it for the future. Best Wishes,

Please note that the assmuption is that you can install a pacakge before you check it. R CMD INSTALL often gives fuller diagnostics: I am not sure these would have helped you here, but I would have expected you to have got a 'syntax error' message (which is not 'cryptic': you did have syntax e

Just guessing here, but it looks as though an attempt has been made to execute the following command: cat ./R/Copy of create.fourier.basis.R This may have arisen because there is indeed a file named "Copy of create.fourier.basis.R" but the command was issued to the OS without quotes; or (pe
