The installation instructions for gee were none too specific about the need
to add a .First.lib function calling something to load the shared object
etc.

Without knowing the version of S-PLUS and the OS it is hard to be more
specific, but

    .First.lib <- function(...)
       dyn.load.lib(..., basename="gee")

should do it in 3.4, 4.x and 2000 (but not later).
