[R-sig-Debian] libRblas.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Steve Gutreuter]

Problem solved, but don't know how.  The only error or warning from 
install.packages("emplik") was about libRblas.  However, some other 
packages failed to update for lack of other R packages. Once I fixed 
those other R dependencies, all of the messages about the absence of 
libRblas.so also vanished.

Many thanks for your patience and help.

Steve
