[RkWard-devel] New website, release 0.3.3 (FreeBSD install)

[Jacob Michaelson]

Thomas,

Here's my output you requested after removing libR.so from /usr/local/ 
lib:

 > require(rkward)
[1] TRUE

Then when I try to load a library...

error message was: 'Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical 
(now)) :
         unable to load shared library '/usr/local/lib/R/library/ 
grDevices/libs/grDevices.so':
   Shared object "libR.so" not found, required by "grDevices.so"
Error: package 'grDevices' could not be loaded

I've also noticed that searching the HTML help pages (for R) does not  
work when I take libR.so from /usr/local/lib.

If I put libR.so back to where I coped it (/usr/local/lib) everything  
works fine again.
