[Rd] Failure to load the recommended package Matrix (Was: [R] Can one get a list of recommended packages?)

[Ei-ji Nakama]

I'm suffering from hay fever now...

from http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mpatel/trac/8306/r-2.10.1.p2.log
| gcc -v
| Using built-in specs.
| Target: sparc-sun-solaris2.10
| Configured with: ../gcc-4.4.1/configure

I think that this gcc is `/usr/local/gcc-4.4.1-sun-linker/bin/gcc'.
library when gcc compiled it is
`/usr/local/gcc-4.4.1-sun-linker/lib/libgcc_s.so'.

if it follows the instruction of FAQ(gcc).
http://gcc.gnu.org/faq.html#rpath

The build is done by using  run time directory in LD_RUN_PATH.
  LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/gcc-4.4.1-sun-linker/lib make
      or
You should enumerate the run time directory of gcc in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/gcc-4.4.1-sun-linker/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I think that it is a policy of system administration. It is not a problem of R.
There is not the problem in R on Solaris10 which I use.

Sorry in advance if I'm wrong.
