I encountered some wierdness when building R-devel (latest rsync) on OSX
using commandline tools (as opposed to the Carbon GUI and
whatnot...probably just laziness on my part but it generally works :-)).
At any rate, sometime between 2002-07-05 and the present the configure
scripts started setting INSTALL_DATA to ${R_HOME}/bin/install -c in
Makeconf...which causes wierdness for the Mac OSX (10.1.5) version of sh
(which is actually zsh I believe) as it tries to use INSTALL and make
simply fails. Of course, even with a sensible shell this should fail as
${R_HOME}/bin/install doesn't exist. Changing this to '/usr/bin/install
-c' allowed the build to proceed normally.

The Autoconf code has [AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_INSTALL]) case "${INSTALL}" in [[\\/]]* | ?:[[\\/]]* ) # absolute ;; *) INSTALL="\$\(top_srcdir\)/tools/install-sh -c" ;; esac ])# R_PROG_INSTALL so either you end up with something absolute or the string in the default clause. I assume this is a combination of you putting R_HOME/bin in your PATH and MacOSX being case-insensitive in some cases? -k -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
