[Rd] R CMD check: Error in .C

[Mathieu Ribatet]

Dear Etienne,

You probably want to create a zzz.R file in the /mypkg/R/ folder which
is just

        .First.lib <- function(lib, pkg){
          library.dynam("MyPkgName", package = pkg, lib.loc = lib)
          return(invisible(0))
        }

This would ensure that your shared library will be loaded.

Best,
Mathieu
