It helps to narrow the problem down. It looks like the problem occurs when 
chol2inv is invoked, and in a plain R session

   R --vanilla

the following would fail

   example(chol2inv)

hence a problem with your installed R (since chol2inv is in the 'base' package), 
rather than Bioconductor. How did you install your R, especially how was it 
configured to use LAPACK? Have you modified your system's LAPACK after installing R?
