[Rd] Building R fails

[Göran Broström]

I found a hack to avoid this bug(?): My personal .Rprofile file loads 
'survival'. The hack is to remove/rename the file.

Another hack is to log in (su -) as root (sudo -s doesn't help).
This behaviour is also present when I run 'update.packages', even if I 
start  R  by 'sudo R --vanilla'! I have reported this to R-help.

Should I report this to R-bugs?
