Quoting Godmar Back <god...@gmail.com>:

R respects LD_LIBRARY_PATH, see /usr/lib/R/etc/ldpaths where it
prepends its own path to any value in the environment when R is
invoked:

if test -z "${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"; then
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${R_LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
else
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${R_LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
fi
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

=====

Provide the output of

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
or
env | grep LD_LIBRARY_PATH

to check that it's set correctly *BEFORE* you invoke R.

There's nothing there. However, you might have got me onto a workaround. When
I see this:


$ diff /home/hrapgc/local/R-2.8.1/etc/ldpaths
/home/hrapgc/local/R-2.9.1/etc/ldpaths
2c2
< :
${R_JAVA_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/gcj-4.1.2:/home/hrapgc/Rstuff/library/asreml/libs}
---
: ${R_JAVA_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/gcj-4.1.2}


I think a little editing job will do the trick.  Presumably, that happened at
compilation time and something screwy is happening with CentOS which doesn't
happen with other OSs.

The gcj thing IS a red herring, can we assume?

Thanks

Using R-2.8.0 and R-2.8.1, I get behaviour like this:

Sys.getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH")

"/home/hrapgc/local/R-2.9.1/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib/gcj-4.1.2"


I'm particularly dismayed by the fact that there are now only three
parts to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and slightly mystified by the appearance of
/usr/lib/gcj-4.1.2 in place of /usr/lib/gcj-4.1.1.  Maybe that's a red
herring since the former is a link to the latter.

I would appreciate help getting the rest of LD_LIBRARY_PATH back.  I
set it in ~/.bash_profile in case that makes a difference to the
possible cause of the phenomenon.

$ uname -r
2.6.18-92.1.22.el5

The problem doesn't seem to arise with Fedora 8 nor with Mepis 6.5.

TIA
