Hi Dirk,

Rebuilding (mere 4 lines below) fixed the problem:

  $ cd to-install-directory
  $ PATH=/path/to/my/R:$PATH ./configure
  $ make
  $ sudo make install

The script (helloWorld.r), which failed awhile ago,
now works fine.

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Try rebuilding r, it may pick up the new R.  Otherwise, you need to debug
locally as it is hard for to judge from here what you did on your system.
