Consider this script (with h5 installed):
$ cat test.R
library(h5)
name <- tempfile()
f <- h5file(name)
file.remove(name)
$ Rscript test.R

Hi Dirk,
Thanks for the solution. Now I know the work-arounds, but still don't
quite get it. Why does R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES has anything to do with
library(methods)? If library(h5) works, it should just work, not depend on
an environment variable. Rscript is not consistent with R, that's my
confus
