Comment (by leif):

 I doubt this is related to the original topic at all.  The setup on
 skynet's Solaris machines is (or used to be) quite broken, as there are
 outdated versions of shared libraries left around in typical paths, and
 some R scripts insist on messing up your paths such that the former gets
 relevant.

 Unfortunately I don't recall what the exact problem was, and how I managed
 to work around it, just that I had to [and ''somehow'' successfully did];
 I think this problem appeared with, or was related to, [the installation
 of] GCC 4.7.0.  In case I am right, changing `PATH` and/or
 `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` should "solve" the issue.

 Sorry for not being of much help here, at least right now... ;-)
