It looks as if > something relevant has changed in the R setup since version 2.14. I can now confirm this (and from googling, we're not the only ones who are having problems). (This is a Windows-specific problem.) R version 2.15 breaks certain kinds of third party usage of the R shared library. Apparently it's necessary to tell R where to find its own bits and pieces at an earlier stage of the proceedings than with R 2.14. I'll work on it. In the meantime the workaround is to add the path to the directory containing Rlapack.dll into the PATH environment variable. In a standard R installation this is likely to be (for R 2.15.2): C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.2\bin\i386
