a question about sgeostat

sure).

No, but it is specific to your system.  Did you compile the package
yourself?  If so, were there any compile warnings?  The first thing to
check is if the tripack/libs/tripack.so is actually there. If not,
go back to installing tripack.  I strongly suspect that you are being
misled, as loading a package a second time in circumstances like this
often appears to succeed, and in fact does nothing.

I just tried installing tripack on RedHat 6.2 (gcc 2.95.2) into a private
R_LIBS dir, the same thing:

library(tripack,lib.loc="~/R-Lib-x86")

Error in library.dynam("tripack") : dynamic library `tripack' not found

But

library.dynam("tripack",lib.loc="~/R-Lib-x86") 

works and after rm(.lib.loc) and setting R_LIBS to "~/R-Lib-x86" it works
without errors via

library(tripack)

So I guess you may also have some trouble with your R_LIBS variable?

Currently I'm doing a

.First.lib <- function(lib, pkg) library.dynam("tripack", pkg, lib)

in the tripack package. I think I have to modify it so that it works also
if called via library(tripack, lib.loc="path/to/somewhere"), any hints?

Or is there an error in the library() function not passing its lib.loc
argument to subsequent calls?

PS: it was not exactly the same version of tripack, I will release a new
one soon, but I think this doesn't matter here.

The second little problem I've been running across is the following.  The
