Thanks for the response Steven. I did email the nloptr (R) maintainer, and
he suggested that SO post.

I think we are trying to link it to the .a file. However, when loading the
new nloptr.so file (after linking), i get the stated errors. What we think
would fix it would be to specify '-bexpfull' when compiling nlopt. Hence Im
asking to see if I could specify this option somehow in the configure or
make step of compilation. Hope I'm making sense as I'm not that familiar
with compilation. Thanks.
