Could it be that your version of the `grid' package (which is
loaded by `lattice') or `lattice' are incompatible (i.e. older
than) to your R version?
After   library(lattice), use 
 .path.package()
to see where it was loaded from.

If it's not the above, and since you are on a unix system, start
R inside the debugger.  You then will hopefully see in which
call the problem occurs:

  R -d gdb
  run
  library(lattice)
  ## .... 

The "Bus error" should leave you inside gdb,
where you can enter `bt' to get the [b]ack[t]race of function
calls.

More details on using the debugger are in the R-FAQ and "Writing
Extensions.."
