My problem is when i build a package using devtools, or R CMD INSTALL -build the package builds, but when I install the resulting .zip (when I've tried binary builds) or .tar.gz
the functions in the package don't show up. I can SEE the functions in the .tar.gz when I unzip and the files are sufficiently large so as not to empty. ANY help appreciated.

what I'm using: Rstudio, R v 3.1.0

>install.packages("E:/R/Rpackage_meadq/meadq_1.0.4.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
'\\AA.AD.EPA.GOV\ORD\RTP\USERS\A-D\dhall05\Net MyDocuments'
CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported.  Defaulting to Windows directory.
* installing *source* package 'meadq' ...
** R
** data
** inst
** preparing package for lazy loading
** help
*** installing help indices
** building package indices
** testing if installed package can be loaded
*** arch - i386
*** arch - x64
* DONE (meadq)
>installed.packages()

meadq         "3.1.0"
> library('meadq')
>ls('package:meadq')
character(0)
## to take an example function within package
> create_ont_csv()
Error: could not find function "create_ont_csv"
>?create_ont_csv

this pulls up the function documentation for create_ont_csv that's in the package

when I look at the "meadq_1.0.4.tar.gz" using winzip, I can see all the functions. I've tried building in binary and the same thing happens where the functions are missing, but the documentation is there.

I've tried re-building a lot with this code and also R CMD INSTALL -build ... :

> library('devtools')

  • It took me a little work, but I actually found **meadq** on github. Is it your package, or are you just trying to use it? – joran Jun 18 '14 at 14:30
  • whats's in the namespace file? can you access the functions with `meadq:::function_name`? – rawr Jun 18 '14 at 14:46
  • @rawr I shouldn't waste your time, the link is [here](https://github.com/dianaransomhall/meadq). As far as I can tell, none of the functions are exported. That's why I was trying to determine if this was their package or not... – joran Jun 18 '14 at 14:51
  • thank you for your response! I didn't get notified that anyone answered. I will look into function exporting and see if that worked. – user3752856 Jul 07 '14 at 17:56
  • i forgot to mention that it is my package. I don't understand how to edit the namespace – user3752856 Jul 07 '14 at 19:37
  • ok, I got it to work by changing the namespace file. the issue was I used exportPattern that was excluding "." files, but many of my function names contained ".", I changed exportPattern to include anything with letters and that's worked. – user3752856 Jul 08 '14 at 17:18
