I can reproduce this on Solaris 9 with PL/R 0.6.2-alpha and R 2.2.1
if I rename $R_HOME/etc/Renviron to something else. I don't get
the "unable to open the base package" error but I do get "cannot
find system Renviron" and several other errors like "Error in
options(...) : invalid editor parameter" followed by a segmentation
fault.

Does the file $R_HOME/etc/Renviron or $R_HOME/etc/<architecture>/Renviron
exist and have permissions such that the PostgreSQL server can read
it? The error "cannot find system Renviron" comes from the R
function process_system_Renviron() in src/main/Renviron.c in response
to process_Renviron() returning 0, which it does if its filename
argument is NULL or if it can't open that file.
