Do you have the *recent* version of the tool set from Brian Ripley's 
page? Do you use "tar" to unpack the sources?
Look into the permissions of the directory/files, sometimes strange 
permissions are related to inheritance of permissions from a main 
directory, and look for the reason why you don't have access to the file.

No, if you have "cleaned" the sources with
  make clean
before. Compiling with MinGW's gcc-3.3.1 works perfectly, at least for 
R-1.8.0 beta.
