I just encountered another mild funny in encounters with R 1.8.1. I
did a make install (as root) of my newly built R 1.8.1. When I tried
to test it I was told ``permission denied'' in respect of
/usr/local/lib/R/bin/R.bin.
I had a look, and the permissions on R.bin were indeed
-rwx------ 1 root other 7138492 Feb 10 16:52 R.bin*
Every ***other*** file in the directory, except for one, had permissions
-rwxr-xr-x
as I would have expected (root's umask is 22).
The one other oddball file was libRlapack.so which had permissions
-rwx------ like unto R.bin.
I changed the permissions and everything seems to be working now ....
But ***why***? (And again, why me?)
cheers,
Rolf Turner
