Hi,
We have been running R ver 1.4.1 on a redhat linux (7.1)cluster without
problem for quit some time.
Now, some user wanted me to install version 1.6.1, and it compiled fine,
but it crashes with "segmentation fault" when you run it. I used gcc296
(default) for compiling, Should I change compiler or is there some other
thing I could do to  avoid this problem.

Regards

Hi,

I had a segmentation fault similar to the way you described, but  
between R 1.5.1 and R 1.6.1 on RH 7.3.
All I had to do was to change the value of the environmental variables 
R_HOME and R_LIBS since R 1.6.1 was compiled in a different directory 
from R 1.5.1. I had defined these variables earlier in order to couple R 
with the data exploration package GGOBI, which may or may not be your 
case. My segmentation fault arose (from memory) primarily when trying to 
load a library since there were two library systems available, one from 
1.5.1 and one from 1.6.1.

Somebody else is likely to be more clear on this matter.
