To me, that's a known symptom of either using the wrong options
to configure or typically rather trying to build R-2.4.0 ``not
from scratch'' but inside a place you had built an older version
of R.

Did you read (a bit in) the "R Administration and Installation"
manual?

In any case, for a bug report, this did not give enough
information (e.g., what version of Unix are you using ?).

Please, rather send a *question* to R-devel (in this case) or
R-help, rather than producing a bug report, unless you *really*
know that something *is* a bug.
