Thanks. It works here too in the sense that the error in loading goes away
by trying to load it the second time. Then the tests are available.

If you load a package and it fails in .First.lib, then the environment is already there, and when you go to load it again it does not reload it. (Try this with a library that has a start-up banner like KernSmooth or locfit.) It just finds the name already there and quits. My expectation would be that the compiled code is unavailable after what you describe. Perhaps we ought to alter this to make a failure in .First.lib unload the package. We've corresponded on this privately:> unable to load shared library "J: > \STATS\RW1000/library/ctest/libs/ctest.dll":is suspicious. Is this what you actually get or is your mailer (or something else en route) breaking that line? As Thomas says, this works for lots of other installations. Can you try it on a local disc (if J: is your Novell one)? -- Brian D.
