[R] Problem with R-2.1.0: install.packages() doesn't work

[Waichler, Scott R]

I installed R-2.1.0 from source on a Linux box running Red Hat
Enterprise Linux WS release 4 but install.packages() wouldn't work (see
below).  When I install R-2.0.1 from RPM on the same system, everything
is fine.

Version 2.1.0  (2005-04-18), ISBN 3-900051-07-0
