When I installed R-1.0.1 on my RH-6.1 Linux machine I got, when running 'configure' (only the first few lines repeated here): -------------------------------------------------- [root at localhost R-1.0.1]# ./configure --with-gnome creating cache ./config.cache checking host system type... i686-unknown-linux loading site script ./config.site loading build specific script ./config.site ./configure: i686: command not found -------------------------------------------------- It's the last line that worries me. Obviously, configure tries to do something special if the target is an i686, but has it succeeded? And do I have to worry? Haven't seen this before, but no wonder, considering the speedy output from configure!

One thing you might do to debug it is to run configure as "sh -x /path/to/configure". This echoes every sh command that the script is running, so it should tell you exactly where the error is coming from. (Tons of output, divert it to a file or run through a pager). My best guess is that you have something in config.site that is not supposed to be there. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
