R help - Oct 2010 - can't compile R on CentOS 64bit (bad interpreter: Permission denied)

Hello, I am new in R

I try to build R on  CentOS 64bit. *./configure --prefix=$HOME/soft *executed
without any errors. But make command print that error:

* DONE (codetools)
begin installing recommended package foreign
* installing *source* package ‘foreign’ ...
sh: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘foreign’
* removing ‘/home/alexkrt/soft/R-2.11.1/library/foreign’
make[2]: *** [foreign.ts] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/alexkrt/soft/R-2.11.1/src/library/Recommended'
make[1]: *** [recommended-packages] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/alexkrt/soft/R-2.11.1/src/library/Recommended'
make: *** [stamp-recommended] Error 2
R-2.11.1$ ls /usr/lib64/*foreign*
ls: /usr/lib64/*foreign*: No such file or directory


I have no idea how to fix that error. I don't have root permissions.

Please help me.

Best regards, Alexey

I use R on CentOS without root permission.  It's always worked if I
run ./configure and make from the directory I'm installing it in.  You
seem to be making it unnecessarily complicated.

There is the possibility that you're missing some dev rpms.  I've not
had that problem, but I know others have.
