Error in .C("open_netcdf"

Hi,

Running R 1.7.0 on Win XP I'm getting the following error message:
Error in .C("open_netcdf", filename, id = as.integer(verbose)) :
        C/Fortran function name not in load table

Don't know what is going wrong. With R1.6.2 I didn't face this problem

Thanks in advance

This means that the associated DLL wasn't loaded properly, so a
function in it is not being found.  How did you install the package?
Generally questions about contributed packages should go to the
maintainer (in this case Thomas Lumley <tlumley at u.washington.edu>),
but in this case it sounds like a problem with installation on
Windows, so he might not have experience with it.

He doesn't.  Does the Windows version include libnetcdf, and if not, what
would the symptoms be if it were not present?

Hi,

Well, I didn't compile from sources R_1.7.0 just downloaded the executable
an run it.On R_1.6.2 (installed in the same way) netCDF runs without
problems. Seems to be a problem associated to R_1.7.0. I have installed it
within R invoking from the menu bar: "install package from CRAN".

Then the remedy is simple: do as the rw-FAQ and ReadMe's suggest and
compile it from the sources yourself.  Something is obviously different 
between your setup and mine.

Before others start asking:
The binary package netCDF for Windows is not any more available via 
"install package from CRAN". As the "Readme" tells you: The binary is 
available from Brian Ripley's page only.

I guess Antonio is talking about the recent version, 1.5, of package netCDF?

Windows doesn't include it.  I just tried building from source, and it
failed because of that.

When I ask Rgui to install from CRAN, it doesn't see netCDF  ---  this
means that Uwe hasn't built the binary for it, which probably means
some manual intervention is needed.

My conclusion:  netCDF isn't available for Windows 1.7 or greater,
until someone tracks down the pieces and adds them.

Right, manual intervention is needed, i.e. installing the dependencies 
of netCDF.

Please read the Readme on CRAN (CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/1.7/ReadMe) 
which says:

"The packages SJava, XML, gstat, netCDF, and xgobi are available at
  http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin
