INSTALL script does not handle spaces in pathnames correctly (PR#242)
Full_Name: Lyndon Drake Version: Version 0.65.0 Under development (unstable) (August 07, 1999) OS: Linux 2.2.2 Submission from: (NULL) (202.14.102.52) I was attempting to install the DSE package from a directory whose pathname includes spaces. The INSTALL script interprets spaces in the pathname as a separator. For example: [lyndon@beat Rdse]$ pwd /home/lyndon/doc/uni/415.704 Computer Systems Peformance Analysis/R/Rdse [lyndon@beat Rdse]$ ~/src/cvs-stuff/R/bin/R INSTALL --no-docs -l ../lib/ syskern /home/lyndon/src/cvs-stuff/R/bin/INSTALL: /home/lyndon/doc/uni/415.704: No such file or directory Installing package `415.704' ... No man pages found in package `415.704' DONE (415.704) Installing package `Computer' ... No man pages found in package `Computer' DONE (Computer) Installing package `Systems' ... No man pages found in package `Systems' DONE (Systems) Installing package `Peformance' ... No man pages found in package `Peformance' DONE (Peformance) /home/lyndon/src/cvs-stuff/R/bin/INSTALL: Analysis/R/Rdse/syskern: No such file or directory Installing package `syskern' ... No man pages found in package `syskern' DONE (syskern) DONE (INSTALL) One possibility would be to change the separator used in the install script from a space to a colon. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
