Hi. I am facing below issue while build this package on R on Ubuntu 15.04

I install on Ubuntu 15.10 without difficulty. It is impossible to know what went wrong since you did not provide 00install.out or the part of it that is relevant. The .git message is just a warning.

This is the bash script that I use to run R CMD CHECK to avoid warnings about .git etc.:

echo "Checking package $1" pushd ~/R rm -rf /tmp/$1 cp -rp $1 /tmp cd /tmp/$1 rm -rf copyright www .git R/.Rhistory tests/.Rhistory cd .. R CMD check --as-cran $1 | grep -v " OK" popd ``
