a question about sgeostat

Matthew had already said that re-installing solved this for him.

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?

See below.

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

It's your error. You have (version 1.0-3)

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

if(version$minor < "62") library.dynam("tripack")

You fail to test for version$major!

That the error message you got is not mentioning the other two arguments
was a useful hint.

Now I have stolen

.First.lib <- function(lib, pkg) {
  if(version$major==0 && version$minor < 62)
    stop("This version for R 0.62 or later")
  library.dynam("tripack", pkg, lib)
  provide(tripack)
}

from library(spatial) and library(tripack,lib.loc="path/to/somewhere")
works now.

Thanks for the hint. 

But help() still does not find anything about the library in
"path/to/somewhere", even if I pass lib.loc="path/to/somewhere" to help.
Is still something wrong with my .First.lib function?
