Dear R supports: I am trying to install R-1.8.0 on an IBM p630 box (AIX 5.1) for a user. When I try to run make after I run ./configure, I get the following error: # make Target "R" is up to date. make: 1254-002 Cannot find a rule to create target R from dependencies. Stop. make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1. Stop. When I use GNU make "gmake", I got the following error: # gmake gmake[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/local/R/R-1.8.0/m4' gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `R'. gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/local/R/R-1.8.0/m4' gmake[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/local/R/R-1.8.0/tools' gmake[1]: *** No rule to make target `R'. Stop. gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/local/R/R-1.8.0/tools' gmake: *** [R] Error 1 Any suggestions and help will be appreciated.
