Hello,
 I have a couple of suggestions that will help persons with
machines/OSs that use extensions other than ".so" for shared libs:

1) Use the variable SHLIBEXT (defined in Makeconf), DONT use "so" or "sl".
2) Use the method in "modreg" to load the dynamic lib:
 .First.lib <- function(lib, pkg) library.dynam("modreg", pkg, lib)
    DO NOT USE
    library.dynam("eda.so")


Now, I have to edit every package Makefile and zzz.R files for
hpux10.20 installs. 

TIA
osman
