R devel - Mar 2007 - Segmentation fault on bin/R --version in R-devel

Hello!

I have tried to build and install latest version of R, but I am not able
to perform the install, due to seg. fault. I did the following after SVN
checkout and wget for recommendeds:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/R-devel
make
make install

...
...

  tobin                             text    html    latex   example
  untangle.specials                 text    html    latex   example
  veteran                           text    html    latex

As can be seen I have Debian GNU/Linux.
Any clues?

Thank you!

Thanks, Gregor, it should be now fixed in the current R-devel.

Cheers,
Simon
