** I'm runing Fedora 10 (PC 32-bit) and Sage-3.2.3 (installed from
source).

** I execute the bundled R software outside of Sage:

[da...@dh04 ~]$ R

R version 2.6.1 (2007-11-26)

R is a collaborative project with many contributors.
Type 'contributors()' for more information and
'citation()' on how to cite R or R packages in publications.

Type 'demo()' for some demos, 'help()' for on-line help, or
'help.start()' for an HTML browser interface to help.
Type 'q()' to quit R.

** Following the R startup instructions I enter help.start() to
** browse the R HTML fles and receive the following error:

> help.start()
Making links in per-session dir ...
If '/usr/bin/firefox' is already running, it is *not* restarted, and
    you must switch to its window.
Otherwise, be patient ...

>  version `GCC_4.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)

** At this point the R prompt ">" is not being displayed and I'm
** being patient.  However, the system monitor shows no CPU activity
** and no Disk I/O activity.

** Checking GCC version:

[da...@dh04 ~]$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7)

PURPOSE.

** At this point I rename /usr/local/bin/R to /usr/local/bin/RSage

** I download the source for R-2.8.1 (latest version) from r-
project.org and
** ./configure
** make
** make install

** I execute R:

[da...@dh04 /]$ R

** And Firefox (3.0.4) is successfully launched pointing to:
** file:///tmp/Rtmp29bIU7/.R/doc/html/index.html
** which contains links to R Manuals, Reference, and Miscellaneous
** Material.

** Since I was able to view the HTML doc for R-2.8.1 compiled from
** source, I conclude that my original problem is with how
** R-2.6.1 is being bundled with Sage-3.2.3 and not with anything
** on my box.
