Does ASReml-R work with R-2.9.0?

It would appear from my recent experience that R-2.9.0 does something different that is incompatible with the way the asreml package looks for the executable.

Code:
> require(asreml)
Loading required package: asreml
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
  unable to load shared library '$Rhome/asreml/libs/asreml-R.so':
  libirc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 (Note that
Code:
$Rhome

 is not literally what's in the message.)
Has anyone used R-2.9.0 with asreml?
Code:
> sessionInfo()
R version 2.9.0 (2009-04-17)
i686-pc-linux-gnu

locale:
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8;LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C

attached base packages:
[1] grDevices utils stats graphics methods base

other attached packages:
[1] lattice_0.17-22

loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] grid_2.9.0

Reverting to R-2.8.1 avoids the problem, but that's not a satisfactory solution..
