[BioC] RCurl loading problem with 64 bit linux distribution

[Loyal Goff]

I am having a similar problem with RCurl after R2.7.0 although it does  
not appear to be 64-bit-related...

On Mac OS X 10.5...

 > library(RCurl)
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
   unable to load shared library '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/ 
Resources/library/RCurl/libs/i386/RCurl.so':

i386/RCurl.so, 6): Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/ 
Versions/2.6/Resources/lib/libR.dylib
   Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/

   Reason: image not found
