RcmdrPlugin doesn't work under R280

Dear all,

Some time ago, I have build a RcmdrPlugin.* under R.2.7.1 and the
loading of my plug-in into R was running OK (back then I was using Rcmdr
version 1.3-5).  After updating the R and Rcmdr  to versions 2.8.0,
1.4-5 respectively, I have problems loading the plug-in. Does anybody
know why? I have tried to detect the problem by tracing back errors that
might have occurred, but couldn't find anything. I even tried to give
priority at installation to the .Firstlib function. Thank you in advance!

Sincerely,
Irina Ursachi.

Dear Irina,

Some more information might help: Which plug-in package? What OS? What are
the errors?

You might try the development version of the Rcmdr package on R-Forge, which
makes some changes to the handling of plug-ins, and which can be installed
via install.packages("Rcmdr",repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org"). I know
that all of the plug-ins currently on CRAN work with that.

Regards,
 John
