[R] Problems with Rscript executable.

How did you install?  If you do

cd src/unix
make install

you should see Rscript being remade with the destination path included.
E.g. I see

auk% make install
gcc -std=gnu99 -I. -I../../src/include -I../../src/include 
-I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H    -g -O2 
-DR_HOME='"/usr/local/lib64/R"' -o Rscript \
           ./Rscript.c

I've seen problems with parallel makes, but running this again should 
solve those.
