I have a test directory for the survival suite, and dyn.load has ceased
to work in it.  Below shows the log:

Error in dyn.load("survival.so") : 
  unable to load shared object
'/people/biostat2/therneau/research/surv/Rtest/survival.so':
  libR.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
> q()

--------------------------

 Is the issue that the .so file must have been created with the R2.13
script?  That's not what the error message says, however.  It almost
looks like it is ignoring my first argument and looking instead for
"libR".
