I did make R recently, 2.9.0, with shared library, which is how I got little r to work at all. There are more than one R on the machine, however, and judging from what you mention, my little r must be using "wrong" R (the one without shared library). I do have the PATH variable set correctly so that the big brother R gets run is in fact the correct R (2.9.0). Is there any way for little r to be assured to use the R and not others?

As stated in the documentation, littl r require R to be built as a shared library. I would venture that you upgraded R and replaced a build using shared libraries with one containing static libraries --- thereby breaking r. You may need reverse that if you want to continue using r.
