[R] error starting R 1.2.2 in Redhat 7.0 (GLIB 2.2 not defined...)

[Tony Long]

All:

	I just upgraded my system to Redhat 7.0, and installed the 
RPM for R 1.2.2.  I intall R 1.2.2 using the rpm -U xxxx command. 
When R is invoked from some directories it starts and runs fine, from 
other directories I get a strange message at startup (and R exits 
without starting).  Thus far the directory with the problem tends to 
contain ".data" files from the previous version of R.  When R exits 
without starting I get the following message

/usr/lib/R/bin/R.bin:  error while loading shared libraries: 
/usr/lib/R/bin/R.bin:  symbol __sysconf,
version GLIBC_2.2 not defined ion file libc.so.6 with link time reference

	Of course, I do not really understand what this message 
implies I do.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks.  Tony

PS  (I still haven't carried out the "backward upgrade" of the gcc 
compiler)....later today
