In my very first reply to you, I pointed out that (for non-BSD systems at least) the sonames do not matter as R loads the libraries itself, rather than via ldd. No more, no less. Just like just about everybody else, I believe strongly in common use of sonames _for normal libraries_. R, however, uses dynamic loading of _its extension modules_ outside of the system use and has its own system of dependency management and versioning. | I can't say for certain (I'm not an rkward user), but looking at the build Why did _you_ then bring up rkward as an example?
