The linux .so assumes an old kernel ABI. With a recent Linux kernel you will need to do (in a bash shell) export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 before using it. If not you will get a BlackBox message about failure to install signal. Unfortunately the BRugs package still crashes R with a memory error, but presumably it is one step closer to working. > The .dll has been tested on WinNT, WinXP and WinServer2003. > > Best, > Uwe > > ______________________________________________ R-devel@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
