R help - Aug 2013 - "block incomplete" error when compiling R

Dear list,

I am trying to compile R on a 64-bit Ubuntu 13.04 machine and get the
following error:

make[2]: Entering directory
`/home/kaiyin/opt/R-2.15.0/src/library/Recommended'
begin installing recommended package MASS
Error in untar2(tarfile, files, list, exdir) : incomplete block on file
make[2]: *** [MASS.ts] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/kaiyin/opt/R-2.15.0/src/library/Recommended'
make[1]: *** [recommended-packages] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/kaiyin/opt/R-2.15.0/src/library/Recommended'
make: *** [stamp-recommended] Error 2

The same error were encounter when compiling several versions including
3.0.0 and 2.15.3.

The commands used are those introduced in R-admin:

./configure
make

or

./configure LIBnn=lib

make


Any ideas? Thanks!



Best regards,
