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 (perhaps
less likely, because of the presence of the "./R/") the line

  "Copy of create.fourier.basis.R"

was intended as a comment in the file, but somehow got read as
a substantive part of the code.

Good luck!
Ted.
