[R] Difficulty with R CMD INSTALL

[fharrell@virginia.edu]

I am running Linux Mandrake 7.2 with the following:

platform i586-pc-linux-gnu
arch     i586
os       linux-gnu
system   i586, linux-gnu
status
major    1
minor    2.3
year     2001
month    04
day      26
language R         

To build a package I ran R CMD build Hmisc, apparently with success:

* checking for file `Hmisc/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* preparing `Hmisc':
* cleaning src
* checking whether `INDEX' is up-to-date ... NO
* use `--force' to overwrite the existing `INDEX'
* removing junk files
* building `Hmisc_1.0.tar.gz'

The source directory had a single large R source file under R
and many .Rd files under man.  It did not have a test directory,
and it have an extraneous s directory and an extraneous text
file in its root area.

Then I ran, under root, R CMD INSTALL Hmisc_1.0.tar.gz, and got:

Installing source package `Hmisc' ...

 R
                                
At this point the install program became stuck.  It had created
/tmp/R.INSTALL.xxxx/Hmisc OK, apparently, with a file
Hmisc.so in Hmisc/src that appears valid, and several .o files.

I would appreciate advice on how to best debug this.
Thanks -Frank
