[R] HELP Running R [Broadcast]

[Liaw, Andy]

Could you tell us what version (and variant) of Linux you're using, and the
GCC version (see gcc -v)?  Are you logged in as root when you built R, or as
regular user?  What does the summary output of configure look like (i.e.,
the last 25 lines or so of output from running configure)?

> executable configure script or a src/Makefile file. In such 
> cases you can install for extra builds by 
>      R --arch=name CMD INSTALL --libs-only pkg(s)
