I also tried using R CMD INSTALL from the terminal and install.packages with a local file pointing to the very same tar.gz file that shows the executable bit set.

In R, run debug(tools:::.install_packages) tools:::.install_packages("stringi_1.1.5.tar.gz") You can single step until you see the message, and try to diagnose why it is happening. Watch out, this function will exit R at the end.

The "configure exists but is not executable" problem is somewhat common on Windows, because there's usually no such thing as an executable bit there. (Cygwin does something to fake one, but Windows generally doesn't.) If you create a tarball there by default you get no executable bits marked in it. For a long time, R CMD build has dealt with this issue by using the
