Konrad,
for a package you should not be using R CMD SHLIB at all. It is used
internally and for non-package compilation.
If you have a proper source package, you just install it using R CMD
INSTALL.
To be precise, assuming you have your package and source code in the
foo directory you can create the source package like this:
tar fcz foo_1.0.tar.gz foo
That package doesn't contain any .so objects and thus can be
installed anywhere using
R CMD INSTALL foo_1.0.tar.gz
That step will create the .so in the appropriate place which differs
by system and R version. If you want to create a binary package for a
given platform, use the --build flag.
Please read 'Writing R Extensions' - you just want to use the src
directory and not mess with libs.
Cheers,
Simon

Dear All,
I am trying to write my first R package and I bump into loading shared
library problem( working on Mac OS X 10.4.10 as well as Linux Ubuntu).
I want to makes use of (incorporate) a shared library
matchinglib.so in
the package. Library was created via R CMD -SHLIB.
Following 'Writing R Extensions' I place matchinglib.so in the 'libs'
directory and use NAMESPACE file with an entry:
useDynLib(matchinglib)
Now, executing 'R CMD check mypackage' I face the following error
on OS X:
-
* checking whether the package can be loaded ... ERROR
Error in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib) :
shared library 'matchinglib' not found
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'cheetah'
Execution halted
It looks like this package has a loading problem: see the messages for
details.
The same problem occurs under Linux.
Shall I specify a direct path to libs or modify NAMESPACE?
