Dinner time with a nice bit of red is a great occasion to ponder over this sort of thing.
It turns out that I had added a path to my DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH that held my own stats.so and constants.so . The former must explain why R's stats.so didn't load, the latter why I had similar problems with a Python package. It still bugs me why this was never a problem under 10.3 ... How does R load the .so files in its packages? It looks like even if a full path is specified in the file argument to dlopen(), it gets beaten by whatever there is in DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. That reeks of something buggy (or interestingly different) in dlopen or whatever call is being used, no? On 09/10/06, René J.V.
