Erin, just to add to what Rich wrote, this may be a disk related result as
well.  I get this error occasionally on my posix systems.  Assuming that
you are using install.packages I would check the disk permissions for the
files and for the disk they reside on.  If, for example, you are
installing them on a disk partition that does not have the executable flag
set in fstab you may get this error because the system is unwilling to run
code resident on those partitions.
