Hi Dirk,

An important update to my message: 

I called install.packages("nloptr") and I get exactly the same error. So I think that something with my R and/or gcc installation is not correct. When I install nloptr on the linux server of our cluster all runs fine. The point, that I can build the nlopt library with my gcc compiler makes me hope to find the error in the R installation (R-patched 3.0.1, although I built the gcc with --disable-static). 

I have to find the error in my installation. The way you proposed should work. Thanks again for your help!


Best

Simon
