Hi David,<br>
<br>
Thanks for hanging in there -- I think you just found a real bug on our side!<br>
<div><br>

|<br>
| Reading package lists... Done<br>
| Building dependency tree       <br>
| Reading state information... Done<br>
| r-base-core is already the newest version.<br>
| r-base-core set to manually installed.<br>
| The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:<br>
|   linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic linux-headers-2.6.32-21 dkms<br>

| 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.<br>
|<br>
| So, it looks like I should already have the shared libraries installed.  I<br>
| originally installed the R packages from the Ubuntu Software Center, and then I<br>
| installed Rcpp and RInside using install.packages() in R.  Does this give any<br>
| new information, or should I try uninstalling everything and starting from<br>
| scratch?<br>
<br>
</div>It&#39;s perfect. I had to scratch my head for a moment, but then I got an idea.<br>
<br>
Here is the story I currently suspect:<br>
<br>
 1)  r-base-core is built using shared libraries, but these are private to R<br>
<br>
 2)  R itself sets a LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the shell script /usr/bin/R so all<br>
     is good for normal R use<br>
<br>
 3)  I _used to_ add a file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libR.conf which made the<br>
     &#39;hidden&#39; location of R visible to the system<br>
<br>
 4)  Unfortunately, this is considered cheating and bad use by the so-called<br>
     Debian Policy my Debian R package has to conform to so I had to stop<br>
     that.<br>
<br>
 5)  Because of 3), my systems still have /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libR.conf which<br>
     is why &#39;ldd rinside_sample0&#39; resolves all shared libs for, but because<br>
     of 4) you no longer do !<br>
<br>
To fix this, try placing these two line in a  file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libR.conf<br>
(without the leading psace, though)<br>
<br>
       # make libR.so visible to ld.so<br>
       /usr/lib/R/lib<br>
<br>
On amd64, you could also use<br>
<br>
       # make libR.so visible to ld.so<br>
       /usr/lib64/R/lib<br>
<br>
The run &#39;sudo ldconfig&#39; and repeat &#39;ldd rinside_sample0&#39;.  It should now find<br>
libR.so, and if so, you should be able to run all examples.<br>
<br>
If this hunch is wrong we need to look somewhere else.  If the hunch is<br>
right, I need to modify the examples so that libR.so gets an Rpath invocation<br>
as we do for libRcpp.so and libRInside.so.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,  Dirk<br>

|     |  Any help would be much appreciated.<br>
|<br>
|     You may have R, but I suspect you do not have R built with shared<br>
|     libraries.<br>
|     The quickest fix, given that you started on r-sig-debian, may be<br>
|<br>
|        $ sudo apt-get install r-base-core<br>
|<br>
|     Else you can of course rebuild R from source etc, but you have to tell<br>
|     configure to use   --enable-R-shlib     or else you cannot embed R. And<br>
|     RInside wants to embed R, so you can&#39;t the latter witout the former.<br>
|<br>
|     Hope this helps.<br>
