I just tried installing tripack on RedHat 6.2 (gcc 2.95.2) into a private
R_LIBS dir, the same thing:
> library(tripack,lib.loc="~/R-Lib-x86")
Error in library.dynam("tripack") : dynamic library `tripack' not found
But
> library.dynam("tripack",lib.loc="~/R-Lib-x86")
works and after rm(.lib.loc) and setting R_LIBS to "~/R-Lib-x86" it works
without errors via

So I guess you may also have some trouble with your R_LIBS variable?
Currently I'm doing a
.First.lib <- function(lib, pkg) library.dynam("tripack", pkg, lib)
in the tripack package. I think I have to modify it so that it works also
if called via library(tripack, lib.loc="path/to/somewhere"), any hints?
Or is there an error in the library() function not passing its lib.loc
argument to subsequent calls?

PS: it was not exactly the same version of tripack, I will release a new
one soon, but I think this doesn't matter here.
