Hi Gang,

It appears that R_io.so was built under R 2.14 and will not load on R 2.15.3 which I'm running. While trying to figure out why read.AFNI was printing the following and terminating on me

** Error:
Missing R_io.so

I found a a problem in AFNiio.R at line 23 in the set_R_io definition
Currently it reads
if (!exists('dd')) {
but should read
if (inherits (dd, "try-error")) {
to make explicit that you are looking for an error class rather than testing the existance of an R object or not.

As it stands the if statement is always true since 'dd' is a text object that will always exist and the R code never recognizes the failure to load R_io.so leading to the failure of read.AFNI when the code is working under the assumption that R_io.so was successfully loaded when it was not.

Bye,

Colm.
