[R] Syntax error with .First.lib

[Phineas Campbell]

I am trying to build a package which calls some c code.  I want to call the
dyn.load function when the package is loaded.  To do this I create a
.First.lib function in MyConv.R file:


.First.lib<-function("/home/phineas/R_HOME/R-2.0.1/library/", "MyConvolve"){
	### Intentionally empty body.  To be replaced by dyn.load function
}

R CMD check MyConvolve gives an R syntax error.

libname is the directory where the package is saved.  The package is being
stored in the standard library directory, is possible to pass NULL as this
value?

pkgname is the string representing the name of the package.


To clarify some notation; a package is a set of R data, code and objects to
be used when the package is installed, but a library is a compiled c or
Fortran binary which can be called by R


Should this question be posted to R-devel?
