Since I don't have root access to the CentOS machine, I can't make use
of that suggestion.  However, by modifying the ldpaths file in my home
directory where R is instaled, I could make it the same as it was in
the 2.8.1 installation.

Just why that wasn't a problem before R-2.9.0 and only with CentOS,
I'm no closer to understanding, but I know how to get around the
problem.

Thanks for the suggestion and the one from Godmar Back.  I have it
working.
