[R-sig-Debian] Problem loading Matrix package in Ubuntu R 2.8.0
Dear List: I'm having the same problem that was reported recently. The latest version of R cannot load the Matrix package, even though it is installed and readable. I've read the archive files for this list and tried the suggested solutions (e.g., removing/uninstalling the Matrix package and reinstalling it). Nothing has worked so far. Does anybody have advice of what I could try next? Thanks in advance, Niall Bolger Details of the error I get when I try to load the Matrix package: *> library(Matrix) Loading required package: lattice Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared library '/usr/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'* [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Niall, What version of Matrix are you using? In R, execute: library(help = Matrix) It will generate a long list of things, but the version number will be near the top.

Dear Michael: Your suggestion worked. I used install.packages("Matrix"), picked a mirror in Zurich, Switzerland, and after a lot of copying and organizing, R reported having a working version of Matrix. My version is now 0.999375-16, not 0.999375-3. By the way, the old mirror I was using was stat.cmu.edu. Thanks so much for you kind attention.
