R help - Nov 2010 - R package "kernlab" can not be properly loaded

Hi,

I tried to load the package "kernlab" under R-v11 and R-v10, however
it gave error message:

Error in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib) : 
  shared library 'kernlab' not found
In addition: Warning message:
package 'kernlab' was built under R version 2.12.0 
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'kernlab'

Has anybody loaded this successfully before? Thanks,

Xiaoqi

The current version of R and all of the packages in CRAN _is_ 2.12.0.

load()-ing packages that differ in their major versions is not  
advisable and not guaranteed to succeed. The Contributed Packages page  
of CRAN has at the very bottom a link to the package Archive.

Yes, if it was built for R-2.11.x we were using R-2.11.x.

I guess you are under Windows (unstated) where some infrastructure was 
changed form R-2.11.x to R-2.12.x and packages compiled for the latter 
won't work foer the former.

hcen please run

install.packages("kernlab") in order to get a version that fits to
your
R or even better upgrade your version of R.
