ok

yes.

    Toralf> What do you think what is not a good practice?

only the last line (before which I had added an empty line)
removing .Dyn.libs.

(I don't understand but it's not relevant here anyway)

No, no these were fine. Do not change them

yes, as I said in my e-mail.

I'm almost at the end of my hints here.
One thing -- you probably have already tried is to use
is.loaded()  
as in the following example

  > is.loaded(symbol.C("pam"))
  [1] FALSE
  > library(cluster)
  > is.loaded(symbol.C("pam"))
  [1] TRUE
  > 

but I presume you will just find that
    is.loaded(symbol.C("wy_grps_R"))
gives FALSE for you even after  
    library(izbi)

Is there nobody in Leipzig willing to delve into your package's
source?
