R help - Mar 1998 - R-beta: Problem with acepack

I installed the acepack package under Linux (gcc 2.7.2, R-0.61.1).
Installation without problem. But

The first problem (not magically loading of the shared
library) is easy to fix. The zzz.R file in acepack/R is
----------------------------------------------------------
.First.lib <- function(lib, pkg) {
  library.dynam("acepack", pkg, lib)
  }
  
if (version$minor < "0.62")
    library.dynam("acepack")  
----------------------------------------------------------
but the correct test, at least the one which works on my machine,
should be
---------------------------------------------------------
if (version$minor < "62.0")
    library.dynam("acepack")
----------------------------------------------------------

Does someone here has some hints for the second (the segmentation
fault) ?
Thanks in advance.

ps1. I also tried to link the shared library with libf2c as
     suggested in the makefile but nothing changed.
     BTW, which version of libf2c?
ps2. The avas function works without any problems.

There is a new acepack (1.1) with a corrected version of the FORTRAN code
at CRAN as of a couple of days ago.  There were some problems with how I
had converted it to double precision (I don't understand why it used to
work, though....).  The FORTRAN code now compiles with g77 (with some
harmless warnings about format statements that aren't ever used).
