[R] problem with installing a package

[Claire Lee]

I do have full access to that directory. I have the
bbHist package in c:/PROGRA~1/R/rw2011/library/bbHist
directory. Then under the library directory I did
check and build. Here's what I got:

$ R CMD check bbHist
* checking for working latex ... OK
* using log directory
'c:/progra~1/r/rw2011/library/bbHist.Rcheck'
* using R version 2.1.1, 2005-06-20
* checking for file 'bbHist/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* this is package 'bbHist' version '0.1-1'
* checking if this is a source package ... WARNING
Subdirectory 'bbHist/src' contains object files.

c:/progra~1/r/rw2011/library/bbHist.Rcheck

* checking for empty directories
* building 'bbHist_0.1-1.tar.gz'

And then when I do R CMD INSTALL bbHist, I get 

open(c:/progra~1/r/rw2011/library/bbHist/DESCRIPTION):
No such file or directory


The bbHist directory is removed and a 00LOCK directory
is created. What I don't understand is if INSTALL
removed the bbHist directory, why is it stilling
looking for the DESCRIPTION file in that diretory? I'm
really puzzled. If anyone has any idea, please let me
know. Thanks.
