Hi Simon, thanks for responding, I really appreciate it. If there is a problem with /bin/sh then I could not install any packages(??). I installed a DBI package successfully. I have also tried this on 3 different machines - 2 CentOS 5.3 and 1 RHEL 5.3. I can try this using Ubuntu later today.
What has me baffled is the unknown characters surrounding the package name " ârJavaâ" and "âRJDBCâ" and thats what I think is causing the problem with /bin/sh. Thanks, Matt ________________________________________ From: Simon Urbanek [simon.urba...@r-project.org] Sent: Wednesday, September 02, 2009 5:12 AM To: Matias Silva Cc: r-devel@r-project.org Subject: Re: [Rd] Installing rJava RJDBC bad interpreter: Permission denied On Sep 1, 2009, at 21:05 , Matias Silva wrote: > Trying to install the above two packages via the > "install.packages("package_name")" command and > the "R CMD INSTALL file.tar.gz". > > I receive the following error either way "sh: ./configure: /bin/sh: > bad interpreter: Permission denied". > I have tried to chmod and chown permissions and also ran dos2unix in > hopes that there is a CRLF > in some of the tar.gz files, but that doesn't seem to fix the problem. The problem is in your system not the packages. Please read the error message carefully - it says your /bin/sh is broken. Fix it and all should be well.
