Thanks; this lead to resolving the problem.
I should have mentioned I was using library(rJava) and the others in the GUI R.app.

In Terminal R shows 

> Sys.getenv("DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH")
[1] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/lib:/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_74.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/server"

as required.


I've had to compile rJava from source as suggested by Brian Ripley (if I use the binary on CRAN I get  errors)(on OS X 10.11.3).
I've installed the binaries of XLConnect, etc.

I can now run things like XLConnect from R in the Terminal and from bash scripts.
I can't run anything using rJava in the GUI R.app or in Rstudio.


BTW. R.app ([R.app GUI 1.67 (7129) x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0]) shows

> Sys.getenv("DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH")
[1] ""

and Rstudio (Version 0.99.878) shows this

> Sys.getenv("DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH")
[1] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/lib:/Users/berendhasselman/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib::"

Where it got "/Users/berendhasselman/lib" from I wouldn't know; the folder does not exist.

thanks a lot 

Berend

So I suspect a problem with the CRAN binary package of rJava, which seems to be hard-coded to use /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework and not Oracle Java.
