[R-sig-Geo] library fails to load in linux

[Rolf Turner]

How did you effect the installation command?  Did you use

     install.packages(.....)

from the R command line?  Or did you use a precompiled Ubuntu binary? Or 
....?

When I do

     install.packages("spatstat", <etc.>)

from the R command line, under my antiquated Fedora system, it installs 
with no problems.

Have you tried downloading the tarball and installing from source, i.e.

     R CMD INSTALL spatstat_1.42-1.tar.gz

???

We need more detail.  If there really is a problem, we need to get to 
the bottom of it.

You might possibly get more help on the R-sig-Debian list; please keep 
us informed of developments.

cheers,

Rolf Turner
