R help - Nov 1998 - 0.63 missing .pl files in etc?

Just grabbed the R-0.63.tar.gz from CRAN. Again during the build make
fails. bin/build-help did not have exec permissions. After that, it
failed for missing *.pl files called from build-help. I just copied
them from an R-devel I had. Then make docs worked. However, 
LibIndex was not built. I am on an hpux-pa1.1-hpux-10.20 using egcs:

gcc version egcs-2.92.18 19981101 (gcc2 ss-980609 experimental)

readline was configured and is working OK.

R_PAPERSIZE="letter" CPPFLAGS=" -I/home/xxxx/local/include "
LIBS="
-L/home/xxxx/local/lib " ./configure --prefix=/home/xxxx/local
--with-f2c

Do I just built the LibIndex by hand, and fixed library/eda/R/eda so
that eda.sl is used instead of eda.so. This time I got 
> library(eda)
Error: dynamic library `eda.sl' not found

but when I do :
> dyn.load("./library/eda/libs/eda.sl")
> library(help=eda)
line            Robust Line Fitting
medpolish       Median polish
smooth          Median smoothing
>     data(presidents)
     presidents[is.na(presidents)] <- 0
     plot(presidents)
     lines(smooth(presidents))
works. Any ideas on what to do so libarary works?

Thans in advance,

Osman

Osman,

This sounds strange. Not that we're beyond shipping things with files
missing, but I would expect something like that to affect all
platforms, not just HP-UX.  Are you sure you didn't unpack on top of
an old source tree or something like that? 

At any rate, we should probably see the make output, as well as any
possible anomalies from configure before we can do much to help.

Hmmm. The INSTALL program is responsible for setting the modes. Are
you using an old config.cache? otherwise configure is probably getting
it wrong. Solaris has this stuff in Makeconf:

INSTALL = $(top_srcdir)/aux/install-sh -c
INSTALL_DATA = ${INSTALL} -m 644
INSTALL_PROGRAM = ${INSTALL}
INSTALL_DIR = ${INSTALL} -d

if you have something else, you might want to try enforcing the above.

That "make" continues past errors and still creates stamp-xxx is an
annoying, but well-known misfeature. Partly my fault for telling Kurt
to leave it alone in the period up to the release (but otherwise
things might have gone *really* wrong!).

I'll cc this to r-devel, in case there's another HP-UXer out there
who's been trying this. In particular, I have absolutely no bearing on
your .so/.sl problem below (unless that's also caused by INSTALL..).
