I've recently upgraded to SUSE-LINUX 9.0 and R 1.8.1 (using the RPM-'s from CRAN).
I've checked that all required LINUX-Packages as listet in the README.html in /bin/linux/SUSE
are installed.
I've then tried to INSTALL and check a package.
Installation with
R CMD INSTALL -l Rcontrib aws
* Installing *source* package 'aws' ...
** libs
make: �aws.so� ist bereits aktualisiert.
** help
>>> Building/Updating help pages for package 'aws'
Formats: text html latex example
* DONE (aws)looks fine.
When I try to use the package I get the following:

The reason is easy to detect:

INSTALL has not created an directory for the source code ... .
Did I miss something ??? May I need to install some additional package from the SUSE-LINUX-distribution ?
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
Best regards and thanks in advance,

PS 1: I also tried to install R 1.8.1. from the sources. Everything runs as it sould. The base system was working correctly,
installing packages from CRAN works, but again R CMD INSTALL did not create the directory for the R-code.
PS 2: The same library installs correctly with Rcmd INSTALL aws under WINDOWS XP and R 1.8.1.
If I just copy the missing directory from the WINDOWS Installation everything works. So the problem either
lies with my LINUX-Box or the INSTALL script ...
