Hello,
I'm on Windows, and according to the documentation R searches along the
search path when looking for dll's for dyn.load.
For illustration, I've copied the XML.dll from package XML in the C:/Temp
folder
if (file.exists("C:/Temp/XML.dll")) {
Sys.setenv(path = paste("C:/Temp;", Sys.getenv("path"), sep=""))
dyn.load("XML.dll") # doesn't find it!
}
head(strsplit(Sys.getenv("path"), ";")[[1]]) # C:/Temp is there
dyn.load("C:/Temp/XML.dll") # works fine
Am I misreading the documentation?
Thank you,
Adrian
