R devel - Feb 2009 - CMD check puzzle

I am getting an error that I don't understand from R CMD check on my current
instance of the survival code.  R2.7.1 on Linux.  Here is the last of the 
log

* checking line endings in Makefiles ... OK
* checking for portable use of $BLAS_LIBS ... OK
* creating survival-Ex.R ... OK
* checking examples ... OK
* checking tests ...
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/therneau/research/surv/Rforge/pkg/survival.Rcheck/tests'
  Running 'aareg.R'
make[1]: *** [aareg.Rout] Error 1
...
  > tfit  <- aareg(Surv(time, status) ~ x, test1)
  Error: could not find function "aareg"
  Execution halted

--------------
  The manual page aareg.Rd has a call to the function in the examples and that
runs ok, and aareg is in the NAMESPACE exports.

 I'm almost certainly missing something obvious - please point it out.

  Thanks,
   Terry T.

Based on the r-forge code it looks like you need library(survival) in R code in
tests/.  It doesn't happen automatically like it does for examples.

  Thanks Thomas, that is exactly the hint I needed.  I had read the
"check" part
of the manual 3 times in vain; once you pointed it out I was able to fine  the 
answer in the manual's description of the 'test' subdirectory.
