In fact, I cannot reproduce your problem on my own: with the same command line, R passes the check and runs both from the build directory as ./bin/R and (after a `make install`) from the prefix I specified. > $ bin/R > Error in gzfile(file, "rb") : cannot open the connection > In addition: Warning message: > In gzfile(file, "rb") : > cannot open compressed file '/usr/lib64/R/library/base/R/base.rdx', > probable reason 'No such file or directory' Something about remembering the prefix must have gone horribly wrong, making your build of R confused enough to go looking for its files in the wrong directory. Do you have any lingering R-related environment variables set? Does `env | grep R` show anything useful? Is there anything useful about the prefix in config.log? Do the generated files src/scripts/R.fe and bin/R contain the right value of the R_HOME_DIR variable? > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] When you compose your messages in HTML, we only get the plain text version automatically generated by your mailer.
