R help - Feb 2009 - Create package with Fortran 90 and C code

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I'm trying to add some Fortran 90 code to an existing package.

When I compile and load the file manually like:
SHELL> R CMD SHLIB file.f90
R> dyn.load("file.so")

I can use the .Fortran() fine. However, when I try to build, install and load
the library I seem to be missing something.

I do a:
SHELL> R CMD build dir
SHELL> R CMD INSTALL pkg_version.tar.gz

Things seem to progress smoothly. However, in R when I try to load the package I
get an error like:

Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
  unable to load shared library
'/cs/home/cslsi/wat410/R/ia64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/2.7/pkg/libs/pkg.so':
  /cs/home/cslsi/wat410/R/ia64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/2.7/pkg/libs/pkg.so:
undefined symbol: _ZTVN10__cxxabiv117__class_type_infoE
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'pkg'

Can anyone suggest what I might do to solve this?

Cheers,
Nathan

See the posting guide!  This is a question about compiled code, hence 
for the R-devel list.

You are apparently using an obsolete R, and it rather looks as if you 
are using C++ with Fortran 90, something that is not supported (since 
in general it does not work, and you need to tell us the compilers you 
are using).

So please post a much more complete description on R-devel, and 
perhaps make the failing package available for potential helpers to 
look at.
