Ah! This is one I have run into. 

SGI has  its own  version of  the log-gamma in  the math  library that
causes  a  number of  problems  with  dynamic  loading including  with
xlispstat. One easy way to get  around this is to #ifdef the part that
defines gammal in the R includes to tide things over.

I  once  had  an  exchange  with  Luke about  this  situation  on  the
SGI. Which is why xls defines it log gamma function to be mygamma!
