The DESCRIPTION and NAMESPACE files should be specified in upper case, 
but that's probably not your problem.  I would guess you have a command 
that says to load a shared library, e.g. a useDynLib statement in your 
NAMESPACE, or a library.dynam in a .First() function.  Just delete it, 
without compiled code (which would be kept in the src directory) you 
don't need it.
