Having PP.o and PP.so will break things if (as I suspect) they are
from a different architecture. Your colleague's testing should have
picked that up (R CMD check will warn you) but you can try deleting
them.
Also, I think you have ignored all the comments about not installing R
into a path with spaces in if you want to compile packages -- although
it usually works, we do not support it.

--no-chm is obsolete: are you perchance not using a current version of
R (see the posting guide)?

The hint is here: there is no sign that PP.c was compiled.
