[R] Help with biOps loading

[Matias Bordese]

Hi Bob,

> I have tried several times to load biOps package after reading the posts in this archive regarding the necessity of placing these two libs in the PATH (libjpeg62.dll and libtiff3.dll).  I have tried locating the libs in several directories that should have worked, but I still get the following message.

It sounds like the required libraries are not correctly installed. In
a windows setup it is a kind of complex step to get it to work. We
have the idea to improve the installation step. I have a zip file
(that you can download here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/219274717/libs.zip.html) with the needed
dll's that you should decompress in the libs directoryof the biOps
package (something similar to C:/R-2.8.1/library/biOps/libs/). Tell me
if it helps. I hope you get it to work and solve you needs. Any
problem or question, just let me know.

Best regards,
Matías.
