Hello. To save the hassle of quitting and restarting R every time I rebuild the
package I'm working on (for the purposes of this question called "roots") I
would like to write a script cleanly remove the package from my R session and
then load it again. Of course detach("package:roots") works for the native R
objects in the package. However, the compiled C library remains loaded. Using
library.dynam.unload as documented results in:
Error in library.dynam.unload("roots.so",
"~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.8/roots/libs/") :
shared library 'roots' was not loaded
I also tried the above command with the file extension omitted and the last one
and two levels of the directory path omitted. In both cases I still get the
"not loaded" error. I've also Googled the list archives and while there were
several questions like mine, none of them were answered by the list. Am I to
believe that this is something hardly anybody does? Does this mean everybody
sits around waiting for R to start up everytime they make a minor change to the
C source?
If there is a tutorial for doing this, I'd much appreciate the link.
Thank you for your advice.
