R help - Nov 2002 - Q: Segmentation fault at all commands ?

Dear List

Sorry if this is trivial, but I can't find it in the manual, FAQ or mail
list (2002).

I just installed R 1.6.0 (2002-10-01) on Linux R.H. 7.2 (2.4.9-32.5) on an
DIGITAL AlphaServer 800 5/500

The program starts up nicely but exits immediately with a "Segmentation
fault" at the first command. It seems that it doesn't matter what
command, I
tried q(), help(), version, licence(), x<-1, etc. 

All comments are welcomed.

What compiler?

RedHat's used of `gcc 2.96' is notorious around here.  Could you try
building under an actual released version of gcc if you used `2.96'?

BTW, R 1.6.1 is the current version, so why not use it?

I have been able to get R 1.6.1 compiled OK with gcc/g++/f77 on an Alpha
running Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1A.  Earlier versions, such as V4.0F
compiled and ran OK in general, but failed make check at the no-segfault
test.
