I am experiencing an OOLOCK error when attempting to update packages to 
my site-library. I have an identical setup on my local Linux machine, 
but this problem on the remote Linux machine (PPC cluster) started about 
3 weeks ago and is present whether I used R-devel or R-2.6.0 or R-2.5.1. 
Also, of course I manually remove the 00LOCK folder after each failed 
attempt.

Below is my error output, my .Rprofile, and sessionInfo(). Thanks, Mark
