Sir/Madam,
I am a graduate student in Petroleum Engineering. I have a problem in using
R and hope that you could help in solving that. I have a code in C, which
displays orthogonal arrays when I give number of rows and number of columns
to it. I have another code in R that calls this C code. I am very new to R.
I downloaded the R and loaded packages base and mva. I also kept my C code
.exe file in the R\rw1070 directory and used the function that is written in
R. There is some problem in this line it seems:
if(!is.loaded(C.symbol("woa"))) dyn.load(woa.obj) # woa is my file
name
in C
Error message coming like this:
Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
unable to load shared library "C:/Program
Files/R/rw1070/woa.so":
LoadLibrary failure: The specified module could not be found
I tried to get help from help files but I couldn’t get the problem solved.
Its very important for me to fix this problem as fast as possible and hope
you could help me in this regard.
Thank You
Sincerely,
Kalla
You are trying to load woa.obj, and you are on Windows which should be looking for a .dll and the error message says woa.so. You say you keep your .exe in the rw1070 directory. You are rather confused! dyn.load on Windows loads a DLL file from the current working directory, *as its help says*. You need to build a suitable DLL.

As Brian Ripley said, you need to make a DLL. There are some instructions on making DLLs in the readme.packages help file; more are on my web page <http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/murdoch/software/compilingDLLs/> Duncan Murdoch
