R help - Jun 2009 - my little r is sick

Hi,

Suddenly, I find my little r is sick.

Given:

  #! /usr/bin/env r

  library (hwriter)

  unlink ('tmp.html')

  p = openPage ('tmp.html')
  hwrite ("Hello World", p)
  closePage (p)

  browseURL ('tmp.html')

It worked fine a few days ago, but now it says:

  r: error while loading shared libraries: libR.so: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory

The big brother (R) has no problem.

Can somebody please tell me what's going on?

Thank you.

Regards,

Tena Sakai

As stated in the documentation, littl r require R to be built as a shared
library. I would venture that you upgraded R and replaced a build using
shared libraries with one containing static libraries --- thereby breaking r.

You may need reverse that if you want to continue using r.
