If you installed an RPM, please tell us so, and which one from where
The RPM I installed is R-2.0.1-0.RH3AS.i386.rpm from Index of
/bin/linux/redhat/el3/i386 located at http://cran.stat.ucla.edu/ .
I very much suspect it is libg2c.so.0.
It should be in /usr/lib if you have the prerequisites installed.
It is currently installed in /usr/lib64
You need to know where R's home is. Normally R RHOME will tell you, but
that might give the same error. So use
grep '^R_HOME_DIR' `which R`
and then substitute it in
R CMD ldd R_HOME_DIR/bin/exec/R
I did the above and determined that R_HOME_DIR is /usr/lib/R . I plugged in
above and did not get any of the description as in your example and received
the same error message:
R: error while loading shared libraries: libg2c.so.o cannot open shared
object file: no such file or directory
Please advise.
Jon

Is the `RedHat Linux Enterprise Server AS'? AFAIK, there is no version
of R for any specific RHEL, but there are versions like 2.0.1.

When R is launched, I receive the following error message:

I have added the path to the library

It may be that you have libg2c.so.0 there, linked to a non-existent
file.
above to the /usr/etc/ld.so.conf file and then run ldconfig -v. The
listing then shows that the libg2c.so.o is included in the path.
Please advise.

My FC3 system with gcc-3.4.3 and readline-5.0 installed from source gives
gannet% R CMD ldd /usr/local/lib/R/bin/exec/R
libblas.so.3 = /usr/lib/libblas.so.3 (0x0094e000)
libg2c.so.0 = /usr/local/lib/libg2c.so.0 (0xb7fc)
libm.so.6 = /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x00b4f000)
libgcc_s.so.1 = /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7fb7000)
libreadline.so.5 = /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.5 (0xb7f8d000)
libdl.so.2 = /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00948000)
libncurses.so.5 = /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x04c8b000)
libc.so.6 = /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x0081c000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00803000)
and then see if the place it resolves libg2c.so.0 to is an actual file.
