Hi,
When installing "nlme" from CRAN on Solaris 5.3.1 by doing
install.packages("nlme")
I get:
[clip]
gcc -G -o nlme.so corStruct.o gnls.o matrix.o nlOptimizer.o nlme.o
nlmefit.o nls.o pdMat.o -L/usr/local/lib
R
data
inst
/usr/local/lib/R/bin/INSTALL: /bin/perl: not found
help
/usr/local/lib/R/bin/INSTALL: /usr/local/lib/R/bin/build-help: not found
/usr/local/lib/R/bin/INSTALL: /usr/local/lib/R/bin/Rd2contents: not found
DONE (nlme)
I wonder why I have never encountered this difficulty before. I have:
> .lib.loc
[1] "/home/woodstock/hoffmann/R/Sources/lib"
[2] "/usr/local/lib/R/library"
and
/bin >which perl
/usr/local/bin/perl
This seems non-standard!?
And quite OK:

There is a Perl install-time option to link to /usr/bin/perl, I think (and /bin is linked to /usr/bin). It seems that when R was installed, /bin/perl was found in the path. Is it possible that the path has been changed or Perl re-installed? If so the simplest thing is to re-install R, as this is encoded in lots of places. [...] -- Brian D.
