...ing that would be the case! It may be that I just need to put the version requirement on 4.0 then. I will be sure to add this version restriction to my packages (which technically I should be doing anyway since this function didn't exist in early versions of `tools`.)

...comply with CRAN policy, a package developer can obviously set these environmental variables themselves within the call for every example, every unit test, and every vignette. Is this the recommended approach or is there a better technique? Thanks for any clarification! Regards, Carl --- Carl Boettiger http://carlboettiger.info/

...ne. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem on the Ubuntu version and/or if I should report this as a bug, and to whom. (My apologies, the Debian package information for the ubuntu .deb file isn't particularly clear on to whom I should report bugs).

...ws that /usr/lib has libjags.so.4, not libjags.so.3 that rjags is looking for above. Perhaps the rjags binary is just a bit out of date on debian:testing right now? Any suggestions on how to work around this? Thanks for your help and apologies for my ignorance in this area, Carl -- http://carlboettiger.info [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear Carl, the CRAN repository does not support Debian testing. I did think of adding support for jessie, as it is frozen now, but did not get around to do it yet. I believe you would have no problem when using Debian stable. Am Freitag, 16.

...it seems to be misleading and confusing a lot of people. The fact that nowadays "int" and "long int" have the same size on most platforms is only anecdotal here. Just my 2 cents. H.
