Thanks to all that helped. I had not compiled R myself, so it was rather
puzzling. I finally decided to re-install R from scratch. First I verified I
had
the right repositories listed and ran:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove r-base
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install r-base
and that took care of the problem.
Thanks a lot for your help
Matias
