Using R-2.8.0 and R-2.8.1, I get behaviour like this:

R version 2.8.0 (2008-10-20)

ISBN 3-900051-07-0

[....]

Sys.getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH")

         LD_LIBRARY_PATH
"/home/hrapgc/local/R-2.8.0/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib/gcj-4.1.1:/ home/hrapgc/Rstuff/library/asreml/libs"
q()
Save workspace image? [y/n/c]: n


However:

R version 2.9.1 (2009-06-26)
Copyright (C) 2009 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
ISBN 3-900051-07-0

[...]

Sys.getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH")
                                                  LD_LIBRARY_PATH
"/home/hrapgc/local/R-2.9.1/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib/gcj-4.1.2"


I'm particularly dismayed by the fact that there are now only three
parts to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and slightly mystified by the appearance of
/usr/lib/gcj-4.1.2 in place of /usr/lib/gcj-4.1.1.  Maybe that's a red
herring since the former is a link to the latter.

I would appreciate help getting the rest of LD_LIBRARY_PATH back.  I
set it in ~/.bash_profile in case that makes a difference to the
possible cause of the phenomenon.

$ uname -r
2.6.18-92.1.22.el5

The problem doesn't seem to arise with Fedora 8 nor with Mepis 6.5.

TIA

Patrick,

When I was using Fedora, several years ago I started to add any paths that I needed for LD_LIBRARY_PATH into /etc/ld.so.conf. Then run 'sudo ldconfig' to update the configuration.

I got bit by the same issue that you are seeing when using RODBC with Oracle. I believe that it was Prof. Ripley who suggested that I use the above approach and did not have any problems after that.

HTH,

Marc Schwartz
