FWIW  suspect that your system is pretty badly messed up with all the  
3rd-party stuff you installed, because our 64-bit binaries don't need  
any of this... see
http://r.research.att.com/

Also note that messing with DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is really dangerous and  
causes a lot of problems since it overrides *all* system path searches  
(unlike LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux).

Cheers,
Simon
