R-1.2.0 installation problems...

I don't think R is happy with having its install directory equal to
its build directory (and I don't think that can be expected to work).

Up to now, I always installed R in this way, and I never had problems 
with the installation under Linux.

Try unpacking the sources in /usr/src/R-1.2.0 instead. Either that or
just don't run make install, since the binaries will be in
/usr/R-1.2.0/bin already after make.

Ok. Thanks. This time, I unpacked the sources in /usr/R-1.2.0, but installed
in /usr/R. The problem with the R shell file getting empty disappears, but...

   $ pwd
   /usr/R-1.2.0
   $ make clean
   $ ./configure --with-f2c --prefix=/usr/R
   $ make
   $ make install
   $ /usr/R/bin/R --verbose

   Type `q()' to quit R.

   now dyn.load(/usr/R/lib/R/library/ctest/libs/ctest.so)..
    >R_ReplConsole(): before "for(;;)" {main.c}
