Subject: Update to 2.8 and problem with liblapack

Hello

To update from R 2.6 to 2.8 (on Ubuntu 8.04 both) I had to install new 
tcl and liblapack packages (excuse me it is in french):

>  sudo apt-get install r-base-dev
> Lecture des listes de paquets... Fait
> Construction de l'arbre des d?pendances       
> Lecture des informations d'?tat... Fait
> Les paquets suppl?mentaires suivants seront install?s :
>   libblas-dev liblapack-dev r-base-core tcl8.5 tk8.5
> Paquets sugg?r?s :
>   cdbs
> Les paquets suivants seront ENLEV?S :
>   refblas3-dev
> Les NOUVEAUX paquets suivants seront install?s :
>   libblas-dev liblapack-dev tcl8.5 tk8.5
> Les paquets suivants seront mis ? jour :
>   r-base-core r-base-dev
> 2 mis ? jour, 4 nouvellement install?s, 1 ? enlever et 19 non mis ? jour.
It installed libblas-dev liblapack-dev and removed refblas3-dev.

I'm now unable to run the Matrix library, whatever I install it from 
within R or with apt-get, it claims a problem:

> library(Matrix)
> Loading required package: lattice
> Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
>   unable to load shared library '/usr/lib/R/site-library/Matrix/libs/Matrix.so':
>   libRlapack.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
> Error: package/namespace load failed for 'Matrix'

but there is a file Natrix.so in this directory (but no libRlapack.so)

Do you see where the problem is? Was I right to update R in this manner?

Thanks!
