sudo should solve them all - the FD is invalid because it could not be opened in the first place.

Note that if you can't sudo, you can also use install_name_tool -change on the package .so to change the path there instead. But the above would be a more permanent solution.

Cheers,

If you compile a package yourself and want others to be able to use it, you may want to change the path from /usr/local/lib/libquadmath.0.dylib to /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/lib/libquadmath.0.dylib via install_name_tool --- the same goes for libgfortran.3.dylib.
