I know nothing about Solaris or what might be causing this problem, but if you put these two lines into a script called TestPackages.R
packages <- rownames(installed.packages()) for(i in seq_along(packages)) stopifnot(require(packages[i], character.only = TRUE)) and then put something like R --vanilla < TestPackages.R > TestOutput.txt at the end of the shell script that installs R, it will fail if any installed R package fails to load properly and something informative will be written to TestOutput.txt .
