I'm not sure, but I'd guess it's simply the last line of your .First.lib. that fails, i.e., library.dynam("Hmisc", pkg, lib) which fails loading the C/Fortran code. I've had similar experiences. The 'R CMD check' error message is definitely ``sub optimal''.
Simply try (in R-devel)
library(Hmisc, lib.loc="~/R/Hmisc.Rcheck")
This should give a much better error message. Let us know if this helped.

Thanks Martin. Here's what I get:
> library(Hmisc,lib.loc="~/R/Hmisc.Rcheck") Hmisc library by Frank E Harrell Jr
Type library(help='Hmisc'), ?Overview, or ?Hmisc.Overview') to see overall documentation.
Hmisc redefines [.factor to drop unused levels of factor variables when subscripting. To prevent this behaviour, issue the command options(drop.unused.levels=F).
Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
unable to load shared library "/home/harrelfe/R/Hmisc.Rcheck/Hmisc/libs/Hmisc.so":
libR.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error in library(Hmisc, lib.loc = "~/R/Hmisc.Rcheck") :
.First.lib failed
Since Hmisc.so is in the right place:
~/R/Hmisc.Rcheck/Hmisc/libs harrelfe:ls -la total 48 drwxr-xr-x 2 harrelfe harrelfe 4096 May 31 18:31 . drwxr-xr-x 10 harrelfe harrelfe 4096 May 31 18:34 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 harrelfe harrelfe 37524 May 31 18:31 Hmisc.so
I don't understand the problem. The same Hmisc.so (under /usr/local/lib/R/site-library) loads fine under R 1.9.
