Hello:


         I'm having problems creating a real NAMESPACE to replace the pro
forma one in the fda package on R-Forge.  "R CMD check" complains,
"Error: package 'zoo' could not be loaded ... there is no package called
'zoo'";  see below.  I get this both with and without "import(zoo)" in
NAMESPACE.


         Suggestions?
         Thanks,
         Spencer


p.s.  The current code including this problem can be obtained through
anonymous access via "svn checkout
svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/fda/".

It looks like this package has a loading problem when not on .libPaths:
see the messages for details.

This message is printed by tools when there's an error when it tries
to load a package (not sure if it's yours or zoo) that is not in the
.libPaths.  There might be more details in the check log.

What does it say there?

        I didn't see any more than the portion copied here.  Below please
