Hi, I tried to install a few packages and got hung up when Matrix couldn't be lazy loaded. The actual error follows:> library(Matrix)Loading required package: lattice Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared library '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/Matrix/libs/Matrix.so': libRlapack.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: package/namespace load failed for 'Matrix'>I googled a bit, and found some related bug reports, but I can't understand them. Any suggestions? Could this be related to switching to the optimized atlas libraries, which I did earlier in the week?

Everything from Debian should be fine. Check that you don't have the Matrix library in several places. On my testing system all is fine: edd at ron:~$ dpkg -l r-base-core r-cran-matrix | cut -c-76 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pe |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=b ||/ Name Version +++-=======================================================-===============ii r-base-core 2.7.0-1 ii r-cran-matrix 0.999375-9-2 edd at ron:~$ r -e'library(Matrix); cat("Still here\n")' Loading required package: stats Loading required package: methods Loading required package: utils Loading required package: lattice Attaching package: 'Matrix' The following object(s) are masked from package:stats : xtabs Still here edd at ron:~$ Dirk -- Three out of two people have difficulties with fractions.
