Dear R users:

Maybe it is a silly question, but I'm don't understand what am I doing wrong.

In a new karmik koala ubuntu installation I compile the last patched 2.10.1 
version of R.

Every thing was right (I install all the dev libraries I need).

First I type:

./configure  --enable-R-shlib

And I obtain:

R is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu  Source directory:          .  
Installation directory:    /usr/local  C compiler:                gcc 
-std=gnu99  -g -O2  Fortran 77 compiler:       gfortran  -g -O2  C++ compiler:  
            g++  -g -O2  Fortran 90/95 compiler:    gfortran -g -O2  Obj-C 
compiler:         gcc -g -O2  Interfaces supported:      X11, tcltk  External 
libraries:        readline, ICU  Additional capabilities:   PNG, JPEG, TIFF, 
NLS, cairo  Options enabled:           shared R library, shared BLAS, R 
profiling, Java
  Recommended packages:      yes
Then I type "make", following with:
sudo make install.

Then when I try to call R it shows me this message:

Fatal error: unable to open the base package

But if I work as superuser, like "sudo R", everything works fine.

I understand that it is a privileges issue, but where and how can I fix the 
problem?

Thank you for your help.

Sorry for the newbee question.

Kenneth
