[R] error preparing a package for lazy loading with R CMD

Sun Jan 30 08:52:43 CET 2005

I have just tried adding a newline at the end of each file. Unsuccessfully. 
Lazy loading is still not accepted and the library can be compiled only 
with the "LazyLoad: no" option in the description file.

Thanks anyway,

Patrick
