You'll need to make your package available if you want someone else to
help.  If you want to do it yourself, use options(error=recover) to find
out what file R was trying to open, likely something like

/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/*/Meta/package.rds

and then work out why R was unable to open it.
