[R] Loading libraries: Nas introduced

[Peter Dunn]

Hi all,

I am trying to package a library in R 1.6.1 (Windoze XP).

I have read the document "Writing R extensions" and think I
have done things correctly (though apparently not).  I have
searched the mail archives for help to no avail.

When I try to attach the library using, eg

	> library( libname, lib.loc=path.to.library)

I get this message:

	Warning message: 
	NAs introduced by coercion 

and the library does not work.

Points to note:

* I have no FORTRAN, only R code (getting FORTRAN working is
  the next project...!  Stay tuned!)

* If I simply source the R code, the functions all work with no
  problems.  So at present I am just sourcing the R code that is
  living in the R directory of my library and using it with no 
  problems.  This seems to suggest that the R code is not at fault
  since I am using the same R code that the library would use.

I can't figure out where or why NAs need to be introduced
(by coercion or otherwise!).  What is the reason, where is
it happening and why, and what is the solution?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks as always.

P.
