I'm not sure, but I'd guess it's simply the last line of your
.First.lib. that fails, i.e.,
library.dynam("Hmisc", pkg, lib)
which fails loading the C/Fortran code.
I've had similar experiences. The 'R CMD check' error message
is definitely ``sub optimal''.
Simply try (in R-devel)
library(Hmisc, lib.loc="~/R/Hmisc.Rcheck")
This should give a much better error message.
Let us know if this helped.
