Issue with installing R packages (./configure error)
I am one of the people working on the eVision project. We have been facing problems installing R packages because of apparently insufficient permissions to execute the configure script for every package. We have tried installing by logging in as root user and also using chmod 777 to exceute the installation script, but these methods do not work. Previously we contacted Namecheap's customer support but they said they couldn't help because they didn't have the required expertise. We also tried the solutions listed on Semantic Search to no avail, since we cannot contact technical support directly as the domain was bought from Namecheap. I have attached a screenshot of the error.

You should look into the script itself. I bet it is trying to execute ./configure as a user hence getting permission denied. In WHM also see if Compiler Access is enabled or not, which could be the problem.

I agree with Andrew - since the failure is in the compilation this isn't going to be related to any cPanel tools.

I checked WHM and Compiler Access is enabled. Also I already tried installing packages as root. It doesn't work even when I try to do it manually.

Well the error message is different here than in your first screenshot. You should consult with the software developer to see the exact permissions you need to apply rather than 777 everything blindly.
