Dear List:

I'm having the same problem that was reported recently. The
latest version of R cannot load the Matrix package, even though it is
installed and readable. I've read the archive files for this list and
tried the suggested solutions (e.g., removing/uninstalling the Matrix
package and reinstalling it). Nothing has worked so far.

Does anybody have advice of what I could try next?

Thanks in advance,

Niall Bolger

Details of the error I get when I try to load the Matrix package:

*> library(Matrix)
Loading required package: lattice
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
  unable to load shared library
'/usr/lib/R/site-library/Matrix/libs/Matrix.so':
  libRlapack.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'Matrix'*
