R help - Jan 2008 - Package Building and Name Space

Hello,

I just don't get this and would appreciate if someone could write a line or
two: I'm trying to build this package and it stops installing after I add
the following to the NAMESPACES file:
>importFrom(gsubfn,strapply)
The error during the package test is:

Error in MyPackage::MyFunction :
  package 'MyPackage' has no name space and is not on the search path
Calls: <Anonymous> ... <Anonymous> -> switch -> sys.source
-> eval ->
eval -> ::
Execution halted

'MyFunction' contains 'strapply' from gsubfn.

Please tell me where I err.

Thanks, Joh

Hi Johannes,

Apparently the package 'strapply' does not have the namespace, so you
cannot
use importFrom directive to import gsubfn() from it. In that case, I
believe, you need to rely on the "old" mechanism using require().
Apart from
that, it also seems that 'strapply' package is not even in the R search
path. Do you see it in the listing created by a call to library()?

HTH,

Michal
