I can build and install the Gviz package as well as loading it in an

interactive R-session (and grid and Biobase, too). Any idea how to
figure out where the problem is?

My guess is either that you are using a different R, or that in your
interactive session you have (implicitly?) source'd a startup file
(.Rprofile, .RData, ..., see ?Startup) that is not source'd at the
command line. If you are using the same R, then starting with R
--vanilla would be more like installation at the command line; I'd look
to the definition of .libPaths().

  Thanks a lot for your help,
