Subject: [Rd] R 2.10.0 devel package check error
Message-ID: <001901ca2720$e4c98810$ae5c9830$@ca>

Dear list members,

I'm getting the following error from R CMD check under Windows only with R
2.10.0 devel:

------------- snip -----------

* installing *source* package 'Rcmdr' ...
** libs

gcc -I"c:/R/R-2.10.0dev/include"        -O3 -Wall  -std=gnu99 -c ismdi.c -o

------------- snip -----------

The package does in fact install properly on this system, including the help
files, and I've been unable to track down the source of the problem.

Version and system information:

The offending package, Rcmdr 2.5-0, is available on R-Forge.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
 John
