  I am the R2admb package maintainer -- I saw this message go by on the
R mailing list as well.

The only clue I have here is that something is going wrong with the
linking -- that's what's indicated by the last line you included in your
R-help message,

 'collect2: ld returned 1 exit status'

  Can you provide more of the 'verbose' output?  I wonder if there is an
environment variable related to linking that's set in your external
environment but not within R.  (Do you have spaces in any of your path
names ... ?)

  You can respond to the list or e-mail me off-list (my e-mail is
available via maintainer("R2admb") ...
