libRblas missing in r-base 64 bit HARDY

[Augusto]

I am trying to install bioconductor under R in ubuntu hardy 8.04 64bit and the library libRblas.so seems to be missing.

r-base-core: 2.6.2-2

thanks.

in particular when loading KernSmooth

library(KernSmooth)
Error in dyn.load(file, ...) :
  unable to load shared library '/usr/lib/R/library/KernSmooth/libs/KernSmooth.so':
  libRblas.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'KernSmooth'

First off, where do you get R from: Ubuntu or CRAN or self-built? Which version? What does 'ldd /usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R' say?

I suspect you are simply mixing a 'newer' R build with an older r-cran-* package expecting the older Blas / Lapack / Atlas setup.
If I were you, I'd uninstall r-cran-kernsmooth, restart R (under sudo) and say install.packages("kernSmooth")

Hope this helps,

doing the install.packages("KernSmooth") worked. Thanks!

I got R form Ubuntu version 2.6.2. The r-cran-kernsmooth is also from ubuntu under the r-recommended package (which is to my understanding, supposed to be up to date).

This bug was fixed in the package kernsmooth - 2.22.21-1ubuntu1
