R-beta: Not loading C library

[ernst.molitor@uni-bonn.de]

Dear Michael Kiefte, 

as a happy (very new) user of R (thanks to everyone involved in
writing this fine package- it's great!), all I could find out was that
with the latest (?) _alpha_ version, for reasons unintelligible to me
(sorry), the .../R-snapshot/library/class/R/class file lacks a line
like

    library.dynam("class.so")

at its very end. With this line included, the test.R from the class
package works like a charm on my ELF Linux-2.0.91/GLIBC-2.1x box;
otherwise, I see the error message you have described. Obviously, this
is not a topic for the R-_beta_ discussion list, forgive me for having
mentioned it here...

In R-0.61.2 (compiled out of the box, that is, from the gzipped tar
file), the last line of the R code for the class package in
.../R-0.61.2/library/class/R/class is

    library.dynam("class", package = "class")

For this version, the test.R file produces a nice graphical
output without any changes...

Best regards, 

Ernst
