Hi -
I am not sure if this is the right place for this question. I am fairly new
to R and still figuring out how to best manage packages. If this is not the
best venue for this question, please direct me elsewhere.

I am trying to install the ncdf4 R package using:

> install.packages('ncdf4')

This command, downloads the package, finds nc-config, appears to collect
all the correct settings, and appears to compile ncdf4 with no errors. But
after compiling, and running a few tests, the command fails during a test
to load the just-compiled ncdf4 libraries:

> install.packages('ncdf4')
...
skipping lots of output for downloading, nc-config, configuring, compiling,
testing...
...
** testing if installed package can be loaded
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :

I am on a Mac, 10.8.2. I am using Homebrew to manage my packages. I have
the main netcdf library, 4.2.1.1,  that is installed via Homebrew and has
been working fine in several other applications. Likewise I am using a
Homebrew version of R.

I am not sure how to keep trouble shooting this. I can provide more output
if necessary.
Thanks,
