[BioC] multtest -- unable to load shared library '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/multtest/libs/multtest.so'

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

This is an error in the multtest library. I have emailed a solution  
to the maintainer and I did believe it was working in the devel and  
stable release of bioc. Basically you ned to change the .First.lib  
function in R/zzz.R. If you look at the function definition it loads  
the shared library by looking in a specific location (including some  
ugly use of paste) - you should have to create that symlink.
