I'm trying to install.packages( "RCurl" ) as root but get ERROR: 'configure' exists but is not executable
I remember having had something like that before on another machine and tried in bash what is described here http://mazamascience.com/WorkingWithData/?p=1185 and helped me before: # mkdir ~/tmp # export TMPDIR=~/tmp and added, just in case, # chmod u+x $TMPDIR which apparently does what it should # ls -ld $TMPDIR drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Nov 1 08:59 /root/tmp but it doesn't help, I get the same error. What else can I try?
