[R] Problem in library.dynam problems on Linux

[Sinnwell, Jason P.]

I don't know if mount -l shows "something interesting" below.  

We're wondering if there is an issue with the gcc compiler, which has been updated since we last updated R.  Do you see anything that could be wrong with the info below? 

We plan on updating to R 2.3.1, hoping that will clear things up.     

Thanks for your help, Jason
