[R] installation on FreeBSD

[Peng Zhang]

Dear loren,

Thank you for your reply! I did try to install directly from source code.
However I got the following error information:

../../../../library/methods/libs/methods.so is unchanged
dumping R code in package 'methods'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
*** Error code 139

Stop in /usr/home/pzhang/R-1.6.2/src/library/methods.
*** Error code 1

Whether is there something wrong with my X settings? Thank you for your
help.

Best wishes,
Peng
