I'm installing R from the FreeBSD ports tree (i.e. running make from
/usr/ports/math/R). During the make, the following error message is generated.
<snip>
Formats: text html latex example
>>> Building/Updating help pages for package 'tcltk'
Formats: text html latex example

* Installing *source* package 'foreign' ...
eval: ./configure: Permission denied
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'foreign'

The problem seems to occur when the following command is executed.
MAKE="make" R_LIBS= ../../../bin/R CMD INSTALL --no-lock -l "../../../library"
foreign.tgz > foreign.ts.out 2>&1 || (cat foreign.ts.out && exit 1)
The contents of foreign.ts.out is:
* Installing *source* package 'foreign' ...
eval: ./configure: Permission denied
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'foreign'
** Removing '/usr/ports/math/R/work/R-2.3.1/library/foreign
