Something might have slipped by me, but I got into the following situation installing Rcmdr:
< install.packages("Rcmdr",depend=TRUE) > Oodles of Output, until: * Installing *source* package 'multcomp' ... ** R ** data ** inst ** preparing package for lazy loading Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library '/home/bs/pd/Rlibrary/mvtnorm/libs/mvtnorm.so': /home/bs/pd/Rlibrary/mvtnorm/libs/mvtnorm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Execution halted ....

The thing appears to be that multcomp depends on mvtnorm, but the extra dependency goes undetected. Manual installation of the two works. A workaround is that John adds mvtnorm to the Suggested list for Rcmdr, but I wonder if we couldn't do something smarter. > version _ platform x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu arch x86_64 os linux-gnu system x86_64, linux-gnu status major 2 minor 2.0 year 2005 month 10 day 06 svn rev 35749 language R > .libPaths() [1] "/home/bs/pd/Rlibrary" "/usr/lib64/R/library" -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Ă˜ster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
