  +--- are you sure you have 64-bit version of libproj? Apparently  
you're using 64-bit R, so 32-bit libraries won't work.

A common mistake is to have a library for one architecture (ppc and  
ppc64 in this case, but commonly also ppc and i686), which then  
passes a linker test, but doesn't contain any relevant symbols,  
because they belong to another architecture. Just an idea ...

Cheers,
Simon
