Running R version 2.13.1 under Ubuntu 10.10 (kernel version 2.6.35-30-generic) on a x86-64 laptop with gfortran 4.4, I'm trying to install and use the FEAR package from http://www.clemson.edu/economics/faculty/wilson/Software/FEAR/fear.html. I downloaded the the FEAR 1.15 package for 64-bit Linux (compatible with R-2.12.0 compiled with GCC, GNU Fortran 4.1.2, Linux kernel 2.6.16.60 SMP) to the /home/john/Downloads directory. The command install.packages("FEAR-linux-64bit-2.6.16.60-0.21-smp.tar.gz", repos=NULL, destdir="/home/john/Downloads") appears to have worked, eliciting the following responses: Installing package(s) into ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified) * installing *binary* package ‘FEAR’ ... * DONE (FEAR)
The command library(FEAR) produced the following response: Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared object '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/FEAR/libs/FEAR.so': libgfortran.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: package/namespace load failed for 'FEAR' Doing ls -l in the /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/FEAR/libs directory produces the following: total 288 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 292757 2011-09-25 00:24 FEAR.so The command locate libgfortran.so produces this response: /home/john/Sage/sage-4.7-linux-64bit-ubuntu_10.04.1_lts-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/libgfortran.so.3 /home/john/Sage/sage-4.7-linux-64bit-ubuntu_10.04.1_lts-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/libgfortran.so.3.0.0 /usr/lib/libgfortran.so.3 /usr/lib/libgfortran.so.3.0.0 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4/libgfortran.so It appears to me that R looks for libgfortran.so.1 whereas I have libgfortran.so.3. I would be very grateful for suggestions about how to get R to load the FEAR package. -John ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
