[R-sig-Geo] rgeo cannot be loaded on clusters (Redhat enterprise 5.8)

[maogui.hu]

Dear all,
When I tried to load rgeos  on a cluster environment (redhat enterprise 5.8; R 3.1), it succeeded when I makeCluster() on local node, but failed when makeCluster() on different nodes: 

library(parallel)
cl1 <- makeCluster(2)                    # login node
clusterEvalQ(cl1, library(rgeos))    # success

cl2 <- makeCluster(rep("b01n02.cluster.com",2)) 
clusterEvalQ(cl2, library(rgeos))    # failed: "Error in checkForRemoteErrors(lapply(cl, recvResult)): 2 nodes produced errors; first error: package or namespace load failed for geos".

I'm not sure whether it is a bug.
