[R-SIG-Mac] 4.3.1 fails to load

[Carl Witthoft]

Problem fixed but not solved.
On previous updates to R, I always copied all the packages (that aren't 
part of the base installation) from the previous version's Library 
folder to the new version's Library folder, and then updated when I 
actually use them.
The fix for my problem was to run "Update All" before trying to load any 
library.
The problem remains not-solved, because (prior to updating everything), 
any attempt to run

 >>  library(any_package)

would cause  failure similar to those I posted previously.  So, while 
I'm reasonably confident that R 4.3.1 doesn't play nicely with 4.2 - 
level libraries, I most definitely cannot point to any particular 
library.  The deepest level of the traceback report for  ggplot2 was

1: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...)

but when trying to load gmp, get the traceback quoted below.
