[Rd] Lubuntu 13.04 raring ringtail: Problems installing pnmath_0.0-4

[Prof Brian Ripley]

AFAIK pnmath is not a package on a public repository, and it seems it is 
using R internals not part of the API and not exposed in R 3.0.0.

I presume you got this from ~luke/R/experimental ... the clue is in the 
directory name.  My understanding was that this would eventually be 
merged into R rather than released as a package.

If you really want to use it you will need to modify the R sources to 
unhide PRIMFUN and SET_PRIMFUN and re-compile.
