Your subject line cannot be really true: R CMD check calls R CMD INSTALL. So this has to be about how you ran R CMD INSTALL.

Guess: did you set TMPDIR to somewhere you are allowed to execute scripts? See the R-admin manual ....

Here's an example error message:

* installing *source* package 'RODBC' ...
** package 'RODBC' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
sh: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'RODBC'
* removing '/usr/share/R/library/RODBC'
