Hi
I'm installing R with the standard commands:
./configure
make
make check
make dvi to create DVI versions
make pdf to create PDF versions
make info to create info files
make install
make install-dvi
make install-info
make install-pdf
Everything works fine apart from "make install-info":
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@fyb012000002 /home/DOWNLOADS/R/Rdev]# make install-info
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/DOWNLOADS/R/Rdev/doc/manual'
Usage: mkinstalldirs [-h] [--help] [-m mode] dir ...
make[1]: *** [/usr/local/lib/Rdevel/info/dir] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/DOWNLOADS/R/Rdev/doc/manual'
make: [install-info] Error 2 (ignored)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This happens from R-1.2.3 (and previous) as well as for R-devel (1.3.0).
Anything to worry about (it seens harmless)?
Thanks
P.J.

BTW we seem to be alternately using $(MKINSTALLDIRS) and $(top_srcdir)/tools/mkinstalldirs for this purpose. Anyone have a clue on whether this ought to be standardized? -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
