You're apparently using the wrong R and/or have packages from different R installations around. The lattice you see is from another R that was compiled with --enable-R-shlib while you configured R without it so they are incompatible. Make sure you installed your compiled R properly and don't mix packages between the R installations (see .libPaths() in R).
