[R] Error using function MVN in package MCLUST: Fortran symbol name not in DLL for package

[Sarah Goslee]

I suspect at a minimum we need the basic information requested in the
posting guide: your OS, version of R< version of the package in question.

sessionInfo() is a useful command.

You shouldn't need to load anything beyond the package itself.
