R help - Aug 2009 - Installing rJava RJDBC bad interpreter: Permission denied

Trying to install the above two packages via the
"install.packages("package_name")" command and
the "R CMD INSTALL file.tar.gz".

I receive the following error either way "sh: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad
interpreter: Permission denied".
I have tried to chmod and chown permissions and also ran dos2unix in hopes that
there is a CRLF
in some of the tar.gz files, but that doesn't seem to fix the problem.?
I'm looking for any help
I can get.? Must I compile this to get this to work because of some
incompatibility with the rpm packages??

* Installing *source* package ?rJava? ...
sh: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
ERROR: configuration failed for package ?rJava?
* Removing ?/usr/lib64/R/library/rJava?
* Installing *source* package ?RJDBC? ...
** R
** preparing package for lazy loading
Error : package 'rJava' required by 'RJDBC' could not be found
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ?RJDBC?
* Removing ?/usr/lib64/R/library/RJDBC?

I'm using the rpm version of R found here
http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/linux/redhat/el5/x86_64
I ran the "R CMD javareconf" as root and set the JAVA_HOME environment
variable.

Here is my system configuration:
OS: CentOS 5.2 x86_64

JDK: java version "1.6.0_12"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode)

R: 2.9.1
rJava: rJava_0.7-0.tar.gz
RJDBC: RJDBC_0.1-5.tar.gz

Thanks for your time and knowledge.

Best,
Matt

This may mean that your /bin/sh does not have execution
permission.  (It is similar to the message you get when
you start a script with #!/bin/nosuchshell and run it with
'sh -c script'.)

What does
    ls -l /bin/sh /bin/bash
show?
