This seems to have broken builds under linux (at least on Fedora).
I get a string of messages of the form

/home/ihaka/R/bin/R CMD: /home/ihaka/R/bin/R CMD: No such file or directory

I am currently working around this by changing lines in
src/scripts/R.sh from

exec sh "${R_HOME}/bin/R CMD" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ;;

to

exec sh "${R_HOME}/bin/Rcmd" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ;;

between "configure" and "make".


Probably the ideal solution is:

exec sh "${R_HOME}/bin/R" CMD "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ;;

Otherwise, sh tries to interpret the first argument as a pathname (i.e. looking for "R CMD" in that directory, rather than treating the space as an argument separator).
