[R] Checking and building package

[Petar Milin]

Hello Uwe,
No, "foo" is the name of C-file -- "foo.c". Package has different name.
I tried R CMD INSTALL myPackage. And, yes there is a myPackage.so in 
src/ folder, but not "foo.so". I got an error message that says:
** help
*** installing help indices
** building package indices ...
** testing if installed package can be loaded
Error in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib) :
shared object 'foo' not found
Error: loading failed
Execution halted
ERROR: loading failed
* removing ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/myPackage’
* restoring previous ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/myPackage’

Thanks!
Petar
