[R] ROracle package error

I am running R 1.8.1 on a Solaris 8 64-bit machine and using Oracle
9.2.0.4. I noticed that the readme for ROracle lists a problem and
suggests the following to work around it:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--enable-extralibs' ROracle_0.5-4.tar.gz

I ran the following to install since we have 32-bit R and 64-bit Oracle:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--enable-oracle32--enable-extralibs'
ROracle_0.5-4.tar.gz

I receive no errors during the install, but when I try to load the
package I receive the following error (which is very similar to the one
listed in the readme):
> library(ROracle)
Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
unable to load shared library "/usr/local/lib/R/library/ROracle/libs/ROr
acle.so": ld.so.1: /usr/local/lib/R/bin/R.bin: fatal: relocation error:
file /usr/local/lib/R/library/ROracle/libs/ROracle.so: symbol sqlcxt:
referenced symbol not found
Error in library(ROracle) : .First.lib failed

Has anyone else experienced this?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

Regards,
