Problem description & what I tried
I apparently have several RCurl.so objects, but when I try to install.packages('RCurl') into ~/R/i686-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.2/RCurl/, I get the following error:
Error in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib) :
shared object ‘RCurl.so’ not found
Error: loading failed
Execution halted
ERROR: loading failed
* removing ‘~/R/i686-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.2/RCurl’
The downloaded source packages are in
‘/tmp/user/1001/RtmpVJ2RYv/downloaded_packages’
Running library.dynam() with one of the old RCurl.so's didn't work either.
I also tried R CMD INSTALL [path to downloaded omega-hat source].tar.gz. Same error.
Question
Looking around on the internet there seem to be a lot of people with shared object problems. But I can't tell from those who answered them, what I need to do, or even what help files I need to be reading. I think I've worked through most / every one of the arguments in ?install.packages and ?INSTALL.
What else could be going wrong here?
