Well, thanks Thomas, I fell less alone now...
I seemingly had the same problem:

####
 > library(tripack)
 > example(tri.mesh)

tr.msh> data(tritest)

tr.msh> tritest.tr<-tri.mesh(tritest$x,tritest$y)
Erreur dans .Fortran("trmesh", as.integer(n), x = as.double(x1), y = 
as.double(y1),  :
  le nom Fortran de symbole "trmesh" est introuvable dans la DLL pour le 
package "tripack"

## (error says that "trmesh" cannot be found in the tripack DLL
## this does not happen on the same machine/OS with R.2.6.2

 > getNativeSymbolInfo("trmesh", PACKAGE = "tripack")
Erreur dans FUN("trmesh"[[1L]], ...) :
  no such symbol trmesh in package tripack

 > getNativeSymbolInfo("trmesh_", PACKAGE = "tripack")
$name
[1] "trmesh_"

$address
<pointer: 0x2aaaac271080>
attr(,"class")
[1] "NativeSymbol"

$package
DLL name: tripack
Filename: /usr/local/lib64/R-rc/library/tripack/libs/tripack.so
Dynamic lookup: TRUE

attr(,"class")
[1] "NativeSymbolInfo"
