A few days ago I asked for help to the list about this problem:
-------------
Hi all
After a trivial install on my Debian system (just gnome-games for my
wife!), my R programs decided not to work, since the 'date' library
wouldn't load. The message I got is:
Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
unable to load shared library
"/usr/lib/R/library/date/libs/date.so":
/usr/lib/R/library/date/libs/date.so: undefined symbol: atexit
Error in library(date) : .First.lib failed
I've run out of ideas about what may have happened or changed. Do you
have any idea or clue about where to find?
I use R-base 1.3.0.1, and 'date' is the only package I've installed
myself (it has worked properly until today). The rest of packages work
flawlessly.
-------------
Well, the problem was a flawed version or libc6 in Debian unstable. Once
I've upgraded to the immediately released new version, all went back to
normality. I let you know just in case someone of you ran into the same
problem. Thanks a lot to all of you who helped me! Best regards
