During the 'make' process I get the following:
String found where operator expected at
/export/bors/bors-01/sws96srb/R-1.1.1/etc/Rdconvlib.pl line 781, near
"("</TABLE>\n""

In all sorts of places - wherever Rdconvlib.pl is used I guess. I have perl
5.002,
gcc 2.95.2 Solaris 2.6, teTeX 0.4.
I've done a make html as well, to be on the safe side! Got the same dose of
warnings.
R istself starts up OK, but help.start() just gives me the information about
using
existing browsers, but I never get any pages come up. I tried exiting netscape
&
tried again, but no new browser was forthcoming. I've tried the FAQ and bug
reports,
but maybe haven't asked the right question there!
I've probably missed something obvious, but just can't see it

Although we formally only require Perl 5, 5.002 may have gone untested. The problems definitely look Perl related. There seems to be two types of problem: The first one is 780 print $htmlout 781 ("</TABLE>\n", "<P>\n", text2html($text, 1), "</P>\n"); and the rest are like 1234 print $txtout mywrap($indent1, $indent2, $text), "\n"; I the 1st case, we have nearly the same construction without the line break in line 784, and that seems to work. You might try joining up the lines. In the other case, perhaps add parentheses around mywrap..."\n" Otherwise we'll need to bring in the real Perl experts. [Even if it would be easier for you to upgrade Perl, I think it would be nice to get to the root of this problem.] -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
