A process typically indicates success by an exit status 0 and csan flag 
different kinds of errors by other exit codes. This is so far unrelated 
to R.
The INSTALL script evaluates the exit status and tells you that 
something went wrong according to that status, for more information, you 
will need to look at the (text) output of the INSTALL run.
