Do you have a local copy of prcomp() (which is different from the original one)? What happens if you start R with --vanilla and try again? What happened after make check during your R installation? make check should have reported an error here (or hang itself)....

I am pretty sure it is something to do with my local installation.
I have R running on 6 other systems with no proble.s
1] R --vanilla (same bevhavior, does not finish)
2] I will reinstall and report back shortly if there is still
an issue.
Thank you.
