This is in a 64 bit CentOS 5.6 instance at Amazon AWS with R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22). It happens on several packages: RMySQL, RODBC, FastICA. Many other packages install just fine.
Your subject line cannot be really true: R CMD check calls R CMD INSTALL. So this has to be about how you ran R CMD INSTALL. Guess: did you set TMPDIR to somewhere you are allowed to execute scripts? See the R-admin manual ....
Here's an example error message: * installing *source* package 'RODBC' ... ** package 'RODBC' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked sh: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied ERROR: configuration failed for package 'RODBC' * removing '/usr/share/R/library/RODBC' * restoring previous '/usr/share/R/library/RODBC'
