 Hi, it seems that you have uncovered a bug in our distribution
 mechanism. We will fix this asap.
 What has happened is that you have received .o and .so files that you
 should not have received.
 If you untar the file, then cd into multtest/src and
 do
  rm *.o multtest.so
 (to remove the offending files)
 then cd back up,
  R CMD INSTALL multtest

  you should be fine.
  Thanks for the report and sorry for the inconvenience.

   Robert
