Installing rJava RJDBC bad interpreter: Permission denied

William, thank you so much! /tmp has noexec in the fstab and doesn't allow any file
to be executable.  I temporary changed those settings and I was able to 
install rJava and RJDBC.

Perhaps the installation routine shouldn't use /tmp and use /var/tmp instead.

Many thanks,
Matt

Most packages installations don't invoke /bin/sh but RJDBC
has a configure file that does.  Can you run a sh script called
/tmp/junk.sh containing

#!/bin/sh
echo Hello at `date`

with the commands

chmod +x /tmp/junk.sh
sh -c /tmp/junk.sh

or

/tmp/junk.sh

?
I think those are quotes put on by R's sQuote() function and are
typically seen in error and warning messages.  Some
xtem's don't know how to render them correctly.
Set LANG to C before starting R to avoid them.
