"are not to be used outside of R". You are distributing shared libraries that aren't meant to be shared (outside of R)? But they are. And I gave an example. This is the first sentence of section 3.1.1 [1] of the Linux Documentation Project's -Program Library HOWTO-, "Every shared library has a special name called the 'soname'". I'll ask again, since this was ignored the two previous times I asked it (but I don't expect an answer). Are there any constructive reasons not to include a proper soname in the shared libraries? I will just patch the FreeBSD port. Joseph [1] http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html#AEN46
