another way is to use directly dyn.load():
lapack.path <- paste0(file.path(R.home(), ifelse(.Platform$OS.type ==
"windows",
???????? file.path("bin", .Platform$r_arch, "Rlapack"),
file.path("lib", "libRlapack"))),
???????? .Platform$dynlib.ext)
dyn.load(lapack.path)
followed by your code.
Best,

Don't do it.
