I'm installing the latest development version of R on Ubuntu 10.04 Revision: 56096 Last Changed Date: 2011-06-08 and the make command runs for a while, then I get : ** testing if installed package can be loaded Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared object '/usr/local/lib64/R/library/lattice/libs/lattice.so': libR.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error : package 'lattice' could not be loaded Error: loading failed Execution halted I'm not sure why it is referring to a file in /usr/local since I did ./configure --prefix=/home/darstr/tmp/R-devel before make. Also, the file mentioned in the error exists and is readable. $ ls -l /usr/local/lib64/R/library/lattice/libs/lattice.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31813 2011-06-07 13:17 /usr/local/lib64/R/library/lattice/libs/lattice.so What should I try next ? -------------------------------------- Dario Strbenac Research Assistant Cancer Epigenetics Garvan Institute of Medical Research Darlinghurst NSW 2010 Australia

Yes, but it's the wrong file.
What should I try next ?
You're apparently using the wrong R and/or have packages from different R installations around. The lattice you see is from another R that was compiled with --enable-R-shlib while you configured R without it so they are incompatible. Make sure you installed your compiled R properly and don't mix packages between the R installations (see .libPaths() in R). Cheers, Simon
