I think you've been lucky.  The R configuration process looks for quite a
few libraries and links them if they are found.  If they aren't found we
either provide substitutes or don't implement that feature. If you just
move the R install tree then the same libraries have to be found in the
same places on the new machine.

ldd should tell you what libraries are required.
