Dear friends in AFNI,

I have been having trouble with R loading R_io.so. Namely, dyn.load('~/abin/R_io.so') returns the message below. Setting 'DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' in my shell environment (zsh) has no effect. Similarly, setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in my .Rprofile does not change the outcome.

The library in question (here libjpeg.9.dylib) is in under ~/abin/ . How can I make dyn.load abide by the library paths set for AFNI's programs?

I am also attaching the output of afni_system_check.py -check_all. The output shows DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to be empty, even though on the command line the variable points to the right path, and afni/suma launch fine.

Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Z

========================= summary, please fix: =========================
* just be aware: login shell 'zsh', but our code examples use 'tcsh'
* missing R packages (see rPkgsInstall)
* python library matplotlib is required
(see AFNI install docs for details)
* OS X version might be old
* consider setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to /opt/X11/lib/flat_namespace
