A useful clue, Brian.  Maybe this is the reason as foreign.ts.out
contains:

Does this try and execute from /tmp by any chance? I had a similar

Yes, it does, a configure script. I believe you can alter that by setting TMPDIR to point somewhere else. That's a pretty esoteric situation: why is /tmp so special to you?


problem recently because /tmp is mounted (rw,noexec,nosuid) for security
reasons.  I had to alter /etc/fstab temporarily and reboot as /tmp is used
by many things.

The others installed so far have 0 size:

-rw-r--r--  1 root root      0 Dec  1 15:19 VR.ts
-rw-r--r--  1 root root      0 Dec  1 15:19 boot.ts
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    196 Dec  1 15:20 foreign.ts.out
-rw-r--r--  1 root root      0 Dec  1 15:20 cluster.ts

I have a compilation problem on FC2, 2xXeon box.

The following dialogue output from the end of the compilation illustrates:

Take a look at the file foreign.out in that directory. (R-devel does this better, by cat-ing the file at that point.)
