[R] loading shared libraries at startup

[Faheem Mitha]

Dear people,

I compiled a bit of C code into a shared library cftpR.so, and load it
into R at runtime using

> dyn.load("cftpR.so")

This works fine, however when I put 

.First <- function()
{ 
dyn.load("/home/faheem/research/cftp/cftpR.so")
}

(using absolute path names; also tried with just dyn.load("cftpR.so")),
into my .Rprofile to load the library at startup, the library doesn't get
loaded. I am sure I am missing something obvious, but I spent a while
trying different things and reading documentation, but no dice. So, I
crave your indulgence.

                             Sincerely, Faheem Mitha.
