Thanks but that doesn't work: R cannot load a simple external library
even if the full path to the directory is specified in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
I posted a minimal example on gist.github:
https://gist.github.com/lindenb/7cd766cbb37de01f6cce
The simple C file is compiled but I'm not able to load the library.

I'm building a C extension for R, this library also uses the HDF5 library.
I compiled a dynamic library (gcc flags: -fPIC -shared -Wl,-soname,libmy.so
the library seems to be loaded but R is still missing the symbols from the
hdf5 library:
I am not any kind of expert, so that this as just a vague possibility
from someone who just wants to try to help. But I am "concerned" about
the options in the above. In particular, you have
"-Wl,-soname,libmy.so" Which looks slightly wrong to me, based on the
man for "ld". I think that, perhaps, this should be:
""-Wl,-soname=libmy.so". Notice the = instead of the ,
