R-beta: survival4

[Goran Brostrom]

I have installed R (latest) on two machines running RedHat Linux,
Versions 4.2 and 5.0, respectively. In both cases I get the 
following error: Starting R in an empty (ie, no .RData file) folder
is fine, coxph works, but if I quit, save the work sheet and 
start R again I get a "not in load table" error. See below.
(On my third installation, Solaris2.4, coxph still bombs completely,
saying
..... 
ld.so.1: /export/home1/local/R-0.61.1/bin/R.binary: fatal: relocation
error: symbol not found: S_alloc: referenced in
/export/home1/local/R-0.61.1/library/survival4/libs/survival4.so
Killed

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

I may add that I install the survival ansd spline packages on the fly
when I install R, that is, I unpack them in $(RHOME)/src/library, then
in $(RHOME) I do the usual ./configure, make, etc, and everything
gets installed at once. Is this a correct way of doing it?
