[R] Hdf5 library error when using R 2.4 within GRASS6

[Rick Reeves]

Greetings:

When using R within GRASS6, and loading the rgdal library, I encounter 
an error
loading a specific version of the HDF5 library that does not occur when 
I perform
the same operation in R 'outside' of GRASS6:

Here is a record of the error on my ubuntu system:

Would anyone have any suggestions?
I tried to find the 'missing' hdf5 library: libhdf5-1.6.4.so.0: in the 
archives, to no avail.
