Error after library(gmp):

Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
	unable to load shared library '/Users/oscar/Library/R/library/gmp/ 
libs/ppc/gmp.so':

   Referenced from: /Users/oscar/Library/R/library/gmp/libs/ppc/gmp.so

Error in library(gmp) : .First.lib failed for 'gmp'

I am using R.gui from:

from http://r.research.att.com/

Pleas advise on what to do?  TIA

Oscar and Terry,

apparently this is the second report on gmp, but unfortunately I  
cannot reproduce it. I have tried on multiple machines, but it works  
for me.

Are you using the CRAN binary of R? Which version of gmp are you  
using? Where did you install it from?

Also in case this is a problem with a mirror, please try installing  
the package like this:
install.packages("gmp",,"http://R.research.att.com/")
and let me know whether it makes a difference. Additional question:  
did you install Xcode? (You don't need to, just checking..).

Thanks,
Simon

gmp loads when installed from http://R.research.att.com; however,  
running some of the functions (nextprime(), factorize()) in the  
library crashes R, something that has never happened to me when using  
R before (5+ years of experience on Mac, Windows, and Linux). The  
function isprime() works OK. I have not tried anything else in the  
library. (I have installed Xcode 2.2.1, and as I noted before I  
installed the most recent GNU MP library).
