Hi,

I have a problem with an external library on a previous R version.

We've created our own package containing a mixture of C++ as well as R
code which works fine under R 2.12.1. However, trying to install the
very same package ZIP file on R 2.11.1 will issue an error when loading
a library:


A zip file is a binary package that has been compiled for an almost fixed triple (R version, OS, hardware), where OS is Windows in 32-bit, 64-bit or (exclusive) both of them in this case.

Therefore, you have to download a zip that was made for R-2.11.x which is available from yourCRANmirror/bin/windows/contrib/2.11 or more easily just via install.packages() that picks uop the correct repository. Alternatively, install from sources - and read the R Installation and Administration manual.

   In addition: Warning message:

(quasar being the name of the package). Does anyone have some pointers
why it works under 2.12.1 but not 2.11.1 ? I've looked over the
changelog but couldn't find any clue there.

Has the mechanism for "useDynLib(quasar)" in the NAMESPACE file changed
?

Thanks for your time,
Cheers,
