I just downloaded R-devel and when loaded it immediately segfaults. I'm not
sure how much or what sort of diagnostic info and can provide, but below is
my build script, my console output, and the output of uname -r. I am
currently dependent on the development version of a package, so I'd like to
get R-devel up and running if possible. I am sure there is more info I can
provide, but before deluging the list with unnecessary output, I thought I
would ask first what would be helpfu. Mark
