Thank you to Dr. Dirk I think I find the problem. I search in the output file of strace and I found in some place "(Permission denied)" and it show this path /usr/local/lib/R/library/base/R/base to be the origin of the problem..
Then I : sudo chmod a+x -R library on the /usr/local/lib/R path, and it seems that works. I hope that was the problem... I am still puzzle what causes it, because I make compilation a lot of times before with other R versions and it is the first time I got this problem.
