[R] taskPR

[Prof Brian Ripley]

It would have been helpful to have given the details the R posting guide 
asks for, such as your OS.

That message probably does not mean that 
/home/bw135690/R-2.4.1/library/taskPR/libs/taskPR.so does not exist.
It says 'cannot open shared object file', and this can have many causes. 
One is that there are dependent shared objects which are missing, so start 
from

R CMD ldd /home/bw135690/R-2.4.1/library/taskPR/libs/taskPR.so

and see if all are resolved.

As far as I am aware package taskPR is based on private entry points in a 
version of R from long ago (it includes a copy of the private header file 
Defn.h from 2005) and is not really tested on CRAN (it uses 
--install=fake).
