The CRAn binary is the first thing I tried. When using

install.packages("fame")
require(fame)

I get the following output:

under R x64:

> install.packages("fame")
Installing package into ‘C:/APPS/R/R-3.0.1/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
trying URL 'http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/fame_2.18.zip'Content
type 'application/zip' length 107168 bytes (104 Kb)opened
URLdownloaded 104 Kb
package ‘fame’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

The downloaded binary packages are in
	C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmpo1A2G1\downloaded_packages>
require(fame)Lade nötiges Paket: fameLade nötiges Paket: tisError :
.onLoad in loadNamespace() für 'fame' fehlgeschlagen, Details:
  Aufruf: inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...)
  Fehler: unable to load shared object 'C:/Program Files (x86)/FAME/chli.dll':
  LoadLibrary failure:  %1 is not a valid Win32 application.



and under R i386:

> require(fame)Lade nötiges Paket: fameLade nötiges Paket: tisError : .onLoad in loadNamespace() für 'fame' fehlgeschlagen, Details:
  Aufruf: library.dynam("fame", package = "fame")
  Fehler: argument "lib.loc" is missing, with no default


It is basically the same as using the package from source.

I checked the .onLoad function specified in the source package and there is
indeed no specification for lib.loc and no default specified. If I run the
function separatly and specify lib.loc as .libsPaths() the function seems
to work.
My .libPaths() are the following:

[1] "C:/APPS/R/R-3.0.1/library" "C:/R/R-3.0.1/library"

could this be an issue? which other environmental variable could be responsible?

Best,
Andreas Dibiasi
