shiny red hat enterprise linux 5.8 specific issue

Question

Is there a known issue with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8 and shiny install? I have R and shiny code working on multiple PCs and Mac OS. My Linux farm IT/SysAdmin person says the R and shiny packages installed properly (I'm at his mercy for installs.) I can run other R packages he installed.

But when I

runApp()

from a R prompt, the browser fires-up and input widgets and non-reactive things show up, but output from reactive and render blocks do not appear. There are no traceback or error messages in R console.

This behavior is the same for demonstration shiny code from Rstudio.

I can't try URL examples served from shiny-server sites to see if those work because external webpage browsing is turned off in this system. Thanks.

我的支持IT人员没有提供完整的细节，但他说他需要重新编译一些基本的OS软件包并在单独的位置安装，然后升级到Firefox12。现在可以使用。
