I am trying to install R1.8. When I use "make" to build R, it gives me following error,

* Installing *source* package 'foreign' ...
/usr/local/bin/R-1.8.1/bin/INSTALL: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'foreign'
** Removing '/usr/local/bin/R-1.8.1/library/foreign'
make[2]: *** [foreign.ts] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/bin/R-1.8.1/src/library/Recommended'
make[1]: *** [recommended-packages] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/bin/R-1.8.1/src/library/Recommended'
make: *** [stamp-recommended] Error 2


Am I doing something wrong here? I am installing as root.

Thanks,
Denna
