I used to be able to call R from Matlab with a system call:

system('"/usr/bin/R" --no-save < myscript.R')

But now, using Matlab R2012b and R version 3.0.0 (2013-04-03) -- "Masked Marvel", I get errors when loading libraries, even though everything work just fine when I run it from the shell. I am running MacOSX 10.6.8.

Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : 
unable to load shared object'/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.0/Resources/library/stats/libs/stats.so':
dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.0/Resources/library/stats/libs/stats.so, 6):

Unset environment variable DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH before calling R script:

>> !/usr/bin/Rscript ms.R
