Troubleshooting
If your make install fails with swap space errors
swap_pager out of swap space

Increase the swap space size
and
If you are running in a Virtual Machine allocate more RAM to the Virtual Machine.
( I had a VM running in 128Mb and R would not install, I increased the Ram to 1024Mb and it installed OK)
