Hi,

Latest modification to svn builds fine and installs fine too :) Great.

Plain session of R (from konsole):
Cstack_info()
      size    current  direction eval_depth
   8388608       4164          1          2

I just updated the working copy and it builds as well as installs
(dpkh -i) nicely. There was one weired error though during the build
process:

I didnot build using sudo, should that cause the Permission denied
error? I thought the fakeroot handled such issues?
