Problems with DCOM client packages under R 2.0

I am trying to use the Windows COM interface under R 2.0, and have encountered the following difficulties: - the package RDCOMClient installs, loads and works under R 1.9.1, installs under R2.0, but does not load or work under R2.0 - the package SWinTypeLibs does not install or load under either R 1.9.1 or under R2.0 For the moment I am concentrating on the RDCOMClient package as it seems to be the most up-to-date one. My questions are: - has anybody else had this problem (and found a solution) - is this something that I should be able to easily fix myself (on my local installation), or do I have to wait for the maintainer of the package to fix it? - if it is something so complicated that only the maintainer can do it, is it usual to ask the maintainer if he can do that? Same questions for the SWinTypeLibs package. The maintainers of SWinTypeLibs and RDCOMClient are the same person.
You need the package's binary to be build under R-2.0.x. You can try to compile from sources yourself. Or you look at the more or less hidden archive of R-2.0.0 binary packages for Windows from Omegahat (Duncan TL told me in a private mail about it): http://www.omegahat.org/download/R/packages/Windows/R-2.0.0/ Uwe Ligges
